A Bentley is really useful and there should be lots of info in the archives on this. Ken Wilford posted a great how to IIRC. A couple of tips: take pics of your brakes before taking them apart. Also, do ONE side at a time. This should help a lot when it comes time to re assemble. Bear in mind that the PO or mechanic could have put them in wrong. Are you asking about these clips? IF so, I usually hold the pin head at backside in place with my finger, hold and push down on retainer with pliers, then turn the retainer and release it. Neil.
