Just read the guide on here and it sounds very easy, sun is shining. Think I'll give it a go.

Well i tried !

Caliper bolts are seized and I can't find a socket that will go over the top one as the strut bolts are in the way. Experiment failed, but i was at least inspired to have a go.

That's a good price, not worth getting your hands dirty for that.
