the easiest thing in the planet, there is no thread for...
"how to remove calipers from lx"
yet i can't do it. special tool needed?
bought max ellery torana resto book to do this stuff. a useless book i reckon.
how do i undo this "nut"..on the left?
have a pretty good tool kit, am hoping i have what's requires.
any knowledge of what's needed, or i'm doing wrong would be much appreciated.

cheers 76!
going by how much torque needed to undo others, and the small allen key set ive got.. not having much faith it'll undo before i snap key!
regardless, again cheers!
Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Something like this set is a great investment:

I have a metric set and imperial set, dont use them often, infact theres several in each set that are still new, but when I do use them they make there purchase price worth while.

Don't forget to use a thread sealer when you reinstall.
