I spent a jolly saturday with the front brakes on my dad's 65 dunlop braked car in pieces, all overhauled and refurbished, looking good.

Sadly the MOT tester has also picked up a leak from the inboard side of the osr caliper. When I read the haynes manual on saturday night it seemed an appalingly big job. The local garage have refused to even consider doing it for us and so I have a choice of going back the weened after next or sending it to Annables who are quite local. Is this job as bad as it reads or am I spooking at shadows?

Well, ideally you have to drop the differential, then take the caliper off and take it apart. It is quite some work, yes.
