G clamp makes it easy to push the pistons back in, take the cap off the top of the brake fluid reservoir first though

Were you watching me Steve? I used a G clamp to compress the caliper and had to use a length of steel pipe as a breaker bar of sorts on a spanner to get a couple of the bolts off. One side is done - I'll see if I can get the other done tomorrow and hopefully fix the issue.

Need to get me a breaker bar with all my new found garage skills, innit.
