They were! It was many years ago now, but I wont forget them, they were so thin I think I could have bent them if I tried.

Glad you are working through your issues.

The above photo's are a really good reason why the rear discs should be removed at least once a year so they can be cleaned out, and dressed on the edges.

I'll bet they were Freelander parts with the quick release fittings.
When I had my Freelander I bought a ZT thermostat by mistake and had to buy a ZT so that the parts wouldn't go to waste!

Is that the 'official' way of doing it? I did essentially what you suggest but assumed some special spanner would be better.
