Fingers can now be uncrossed. All four callipers are off and in the garage, along with the front discs so I can clean up the centres and the dust guards. The rears can wait now that I've run out of light. Now I can spend my festive evenings cleaning and rebuilding callipers.

It's a Christmas miracle!

Glad it went well. As I said, mine were fine, which was a real surprise given how many other bolts had behaved on the car!!

Sounds exactly like mine. My drop links, arb brackets and exhaust bolts were all absolute pigs.

I have made it common practise to get the grinder out and ready before attacking any nuts & bolts on my Scoob! I work with nuts and bolts as my job, it would seem they upset me in my hobby as much as they do at work, my neighbours know how much I hate dealing with them on the car too... Oops!

So wheels are back, looking spot on.

All sealed with gtechniq c5, and back on the car. Went for a little drive, and thankfully no abs problems to report. Pedal is a little soft though, needs another bleeding session I think. Just need a new set of centre caps now. I've been searching for so long that I think I'm going to have to knock up some copies with the gel stickers off eBay.

Theres a specific method for Subaru brake bleed so I have read, and personally I'd always get it done at a garage where they can put it on their machines under the correct pressure

It's the other half I'm worried about. I followed the sequence advised by Subaru, but apparently they are notorious for trapped air. I'll give it another try tomorrow with the two man method, if not the brother inlaw has a kit so I'll borrow that.
