Adam,
You need to take at least a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 17mm ring spanner & sockets
(recommended) with you and something to cut the solid hydraulic lines just
past the flexi joint. I find that trying to undo these at the u-pull with
hydraulic spanners is a bit hard and usually ends with bark off the fingers.
The callipers are bolted to the bracket and come off the usual way but to
get the bracket off the axle you have to remove the axle totally out of the
housing. There is a hole in the end of the axle flange that you rotate to
undo each of the 4 bolts. I have found that the axles fall out with a wack
with a hammer on the flange but they can be a bit of a problem but nothing
that a few hits with a slide hammer can't shift.
regards
Terry

questino?
