    Hi all,

    Not quite as easy a job as I thought as the caliper seems to pivot the wrong way? Any ideas? Can't find anything on youtube?

    Thanks.

    P.

    Cheers Blackness,

    Job done ! I got an advisory on the MOT that the brake pads were low, I managed to get the old ones out but there's loads left, so just put them back by shuffling the caliper about.
    I was hoping to remove it to give it a good clean though... I'll have a look at the link, thanks....
