While I've got all the wheels off the car. I thought I'd pop the pads out and clean up the calipers. Front fine no probs got plenty of st out everything moving freely.

Came to do the rear drivers-side, one pad comes out no probs the other one is free, I can waggle it and see daylight. Seems free but can't get the bugger out from the caliper. No ridges on the disc the pistons backed off okay I can't see what's stopping it! I'm at risk of rounding off the bolts if I try to take the caliper off due to my tools/position of bolts/working on the drive/my skill levels.
