  2. Undo the four caliper retaining bolts then pull of calipers. Slacken the axle end nut then the pinch bolts. Support on paddock stand and take of axle end bolt. Twat through the axle. Wheel off.

  4. You're right...It's a tight squeeze but they do come off, just be careful not to score the pads on the edge of the disc as you ease the caliper around.

  5. Would that be BRAKES you are talking about? Or is something BROKEN?

  6. Twist the caliper against the disc to force the pads back.........then it will curl off the disc quite easily.
