Yhanks for nut size.

They are seized. Grumble.

You will need a long breaker bar as it will have thread lock on the bolt.

Interesting.. I did not know that it would have thread lock. Thanks.

To get better access to the bolts you can turn the wheel on full lock as they pretty tight and need good leverage to crack them off.

Another good tip. Im gonna have another go at the weekend if the missus lets me... ????thanks.

Just did mine and I gave up on first attempt a few months ago.

 

Defn need the car turned on lock and a breaker bar 450mm plus helps a lot use your legs with a straight back.. Some penetrating spray can also be of use but the thread is accessible around the back up against the disc and you can't really get access there or spray lubricant in that region unless you are replacing them then and there (discs and pads) no matter what!
