Hi. I would like to ask for some advice on changing o/s/r caliper (girling) on a 1971 Rover P6 2000SC. Is it possible to just take off one side, as mentioned? I have already dropped half shaft and removed disc for easy access. But I'm now unsure whether the hose connecting the two calipers can be removed whilst on the car without bursting them, unlike the main feed pipe that has a union which I can disconnect metal pipe from flexi pipe. I was hoping to just remove clevis pin from the link lever on the o/s/r caliper and remove pivet pin to remove caliper.
Any help would be great.
Many thanks, Gareth.
UPDATE
I've tried to remove hexagonal headed plug on pivot pin for rear caliper. The socket keeps slipping off as if it is not on far enough. Just wondering if the hexagonal nut is just a locking tab and the bolt head is underneath. So, can I bend back the tabs then put on the socket and bar to slacken it?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
