Remember it only takes one captive but to shear, or one outer bush to seize and you have a whole load more work to do.

Cheers Trikey. The whole shearing thing is one reason why I'm going to hand it over to someone who's got more idea than I have. When I had the rear brakes sorted in the summer, the caliper bolts had seized almost solid. Based on the state of the one arm, I'm certain some form of brute force, a touch of heat and a few choice words will be required. Either that or it'll just fall out and turn to dust on the ramp.
