sometimes worked for me - worth a go

put key in ignition and turn it to 1st or 2nd position and push on the wheel ( with nut on still tho) it then springs off

Safest and easiest way is with steering wheel puller, will only cost £10-15

yeh leave the nut on slightly so you don't end up with it in your gob when it comes off. i found pulling one side then the other plenty of times worked it off the splines quite easily.

bang a set of 2 litre ones on for the same price, and they will bolt straight on the same as the 1600 calipers
