Looks like your jack gave up as well.

I need to do this too... found out you shouldn't paint the disc hub area?

Ah not heard this before, but with the wheel back on mine you can see around 3/4 of an inch of the face all the way round. I've seen some not bother to mask it at all and paint the whole thing... I wasn't brave enough to risk it.
Is the rust dust anything to worry about?
Almost finished painting the backs of four new disks. Decided against spraying the mating surfaces as per my recent thread. I’ll get the fronts done hopefully next weekend and then they can go on as and when I get a minute.
New rocker cover gasket fitted and 6 new plugs also.

No issues with the dusty coils? i.e. you didn't replace them?
No coils were fine. Should i have replaced them?
Can’t see the rust being a problem personallyDaveZ4richardson said:kis said:DaveZ4richardson said:New rocker cover gasket fitted and 6 new plugs also.
