Obviously the callipers have to come off but what did surprise me was there was no way the callipers were going to clear the disc. i.e.once unbolted there was not enough room between the disc and the rim to remove the callipers. Maybe I should have tried taking the pads out but wound up removing the discs as I wasn't sure they'd come off with the pads out anyway. I keep thinking, have I missed something? Is there an easier way? Unfortunately it's a gas bar-b-q in the background not a bin, sorry.
Did you twist the caliper to push the pads back a little? If you can, swap to a twin line set up and single banjos in each caliper.
Is that held up with sky hooks? I agree with Nelson, twist the calipers to push back the pads then carefully wiggle them past the disc.
Yeah it was the hose fixing at the top of the calipers that was touching the rim preventing removal. I've swapped to a twin line setup on my ST4. Good call. It's all done now and back together. As usual 'I'll know for next time!'. Good info guys. Thanks. While we're on about Calipers I always thought it was one L. However predictive text on my iPad came up with two L's. As it was the middle of the night I went with it. I've looked it up through online dictionaries and I'm still not 100% sure. Being a derivative of the word calibre you'd think it would be one L. Doubtless Pete will be able to clear this up.

Ahhhhhhhhh, my apprentice days.....sky hooks, left hand screwdriver, long weight (wait) camouflage paint and the list goes on and on, in today’s society you’d probably end up in court for causing undue stress, I only have fond memories and it helped to build my character and who I am today.....amen
Yep - same again - my hyper 1100 goes the same way, twist the caliper away for the rim a little bit to work the pads back into the caliper...i tie a thin bit of cloth round the wheel to protect the wheel from getting touched by the caliper just in case....
