for all of u who doubted my mechanical skills, i have proved u's all wrong by doing my own wheel bearings (fronts disks) at home, only because it was a lazy sunday arvo with nothing to do and had time to kill and plus the bearing craped itself so i had no choice... lol it only took me 3 hrs and alot of swearing but ive learned how to do it though

There is no blacker grease, nor sharper edges to jag your hands on than those found under the guards of a mini.
Except maybe for a jag....

Now you're initiated in mini maintenance.
