Oh, had that too - but it were my fault for having lost the appropriate
socket.
The brake calipers are held on by those irritating bolts with 13mm 12-point
heads. On the front ones, you need a long-reach socket to get onto 'em, and
this I have, bought specially for the purpose. Naturally, on the back
calipers, the long socket means you can't get a handle on it 'cos the
spring's in the way. So I had to go and buy a 13mm short 12-point (most of
my sockets are single hex) for the purpose.
