So now my Dad is on a lifetime ban for using torque wrenches, I felt a bit safer in the workshop, and proceeded to get the old studs out by basically clamping them in a vice while I twisted the fork round (only the latest techniques used here people...). Unfortunately my local nut n bolt merchant didnt have any studs, but had some stainless bolts and this worked out quite well as I could use the hex head to tighten the bolts in before cutting the heads off (I was quite proud about figuring this out :-D).
With this sorted it didn't take long to get the front end back together and the brake bled up. I have however made a mess of the brake light switch on the handlebar so will have to do a little rewiring to get it working again.
Check out the sexy caliper oh yeah!!
