[Remoh1]

Simple question,

just as you say - 2 bolts out and swivel caliper up. Worth checking caliper sliding bolts that they are clean otherwise you'll enjoy the £900 wur pal in Norwayland spent - Toyota have a case to answer!!

If all else fails

Kick a hole in the wheel arch and use a sturdy boot on the tire.

You need to get someone to do the same on the passenger side though or the uneven braking will send you round in circles.

Not very safe!!! :D

thats ok I live near milton keynes so most of the braking is breaking for roundabouts so going around in a circle when I brake will be fine
