The longest day Houtman
The solution was very simple; i knew something was wrong but everything looked in place, except....
The wheel ROTATION was backwards so the pads were bedded in on the disks but now did not match the pattern of wear.
Simple but interesting effect, once the wheel was turned around everything was fine as usual.
Dave i just use 3 large 600 mm. tyre irons, you can see them in the middle picture and plastic rim protectors in between the rim.
With the cable ties on the tire and lube on the working surfaces it was easy to get the tire back on the rim, once on you just remove the cable ties with a stanley knife to move the locking tabs back to unlock the ties and re-use them next time, place the tire so there is no force on the tire and inflate until the beads set.
I use a 5 liter garden pressure weed sprayer ( the orange thing in the last picture ) and a clear plastic hose that just fits the sprayer and the valve, i clamp the hose, pump up the pressure in the tank and release the clamp to quickly get the pressure inside the tire and it seats on the rim, done the same thing last time with a co2 cartridge, same effect.
