That requires tools. For 2 or 3 quid, I'll just buy some if they cant be reused as-is :)

I should point out this is rear caliper, and I can't find part number for rear. Can anyone remember if it is a banjo type setup?

Take one to your local hydraulics supplier where 2 or 3 quid will buy enough for all of us to use for the rest of these cars lifetimes. As for tools, pliers and the gas stove should do the job.
