I was lucky, using a breaker bat with case and lots of Plus-Gas I got the bots moving and after lots and lots of toing and froing they both came out intact, albeit covered in corrosion...
This was the sate of the caliper at the start of work, it's almost touching the disc and you can see the wedging very clearly...
This was the buildup of corrosion on the trailing arm. I used a sharp cold chisel to chip it away in big lumps...
The corrosion on the caliper end. Again, chipped off with the cold chisel...
One written-off disc showing the contact area due to the wedging. The disc was badly corroded where the pads had not been in contact and was utterly unusable again. I'm glad I had a serviceable spare... Pads were also replaced...
That's better!
It was a job I was dreading on account of the risk of bolt breakage but in the end it was all good. £16 wasted on new bolts...
