    thanks

    Video link below, easier than me going through a long winded explanation. (probably a few more you can look at as well)

    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

    Buy the Laser tool from Halfords or ebay, much easier than messing about adapting stuff. I used long nose pliers and waterpump pliers but it goes much better with the right tool especially when calipers are seized... Also use decent axle stands when working under the car. You will need a thin 15mm open ended spanner and a 13mm ratchet spanner for the sliding bolts.
