3. As stated only need wind back tool for rear brakes. Once refitted and brake pedal pumped a few times keep the pedal pressed whilst yanking up the handbrake a dozen times to set the adjuster correctly.
Good luck

Cheers thanks for all of the useful info, especially about pumping the brake pedal and yanking the hand brake and cutting the pipe certainly helped getting the old flexis off. Well glad to say the job is now done and the brakes work and no squeeling
Used high temp brake greese this time instead of cooper slip. My rear calipers were also seezed up, now everything appears to working as expected
Nige thanks for the offer of the loan of the wind back took, luckily I had a 12mm allen key so all was good!
All I have to do is get the new bushes put into the anti roll bar, and fingers crossed for the MOT on Saturday
Nige thanks for the
