Carl managed to do his last weekend so it can't be that hard  :signLOL:

I can fit the socket in.  There isnt enough room then for the ratchet, never mind an extension.   :sad1:

Tfsi_Mike:

Came accross this but doubt 10mm hex is upto the torque need to undo & re tighten???

vRStu:
Are you sure you're undoing the right bolts??

There should be two traditional M14 hex head bolts that hold the carrier in place.

It looks like I am  :confused:  It's 2 M14 splined bolts holdin the Caliper on.  Need the caliper off to remove the disc

vRStu:
You surely had the caliper off when you did pads?  So all that is left is the carrier which is two M14 bolts.  Don't go trying to split the caliper.
