Be CAREFULL with undoing the joints and unions otherwise ... http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... gory_id=48 If you have the time feed them with a good graphite-based penetrating fluid ... not WD40

Good luck, Ian.

2wd it's a case of using one stubbie ring spanner and one normal good quality open ended spanner and lots of penetrating oil, or if you have access to a small belt grinder grinding away about a 1p slot in the lower part of the bracket that is stopping you getting a narrow wall 1/4" drive 13mm socket on an extension onto the bottom of the bolt and a spanner on the top - if you don't need to don't break into the hydraulics, but pushing the piston up and off the lever and pulling it out to get more room is fine but depends on brand of slave some come out easily some have clip around the boot which has to be removed and it's easy to tear the boot
