[ROVERNET - UK] 3500S rear caliper

[Alan Gale]

Just read adrian's advice - 
I agree.  The winder should never be forced.  a good cleanup should do the 
trick for you - i was suggesting you try this on the car first to see if it 
avoids the dismantling and mantling process - you may be gruntled by the result.
