After ordering and recieving both a set of Laser Socket Cap removal bits, and a set of twist bits I returned to the fray this morning, tackling the nearside set-up as it's easier to access when the car's parked in its usual spot.
Jack up, remove wheel, prop up on axle stand - all ticks.
Undo bolts for caliper slides, with no need for twist bits - ticks.
Remove pads and put caliper out of harm's way - ticks.
Remove caliper yoke bolts - pass the Laser bits please. Application of breaker bar to socket and the yoke bolts budged - more ticks.
Remove hub cover - pardon? How do you remove the hub cover without destroying it?
Put the brake system back together; I KNOW the yoke and slide bolts are use-once items but the Valdez is going nowhere and I'd rather have it on 4 paws than three paws and an axle stand.
