Do pump the brakes. I did not and got a bit of a shock. I did not put that in the guide, I'll update it.

Removing the lower bolt means you swing the caliper upwards, thus minimising any tension on the brake hose.

And, yeah, pump the pedal until it's firm. I once saw an apprentice at Mulcahy Mazda in Ringwood ( now that was a long time ago ) reverse a car off the hoist, straight back through a fence and down about an 8' drop. panic written all over him. The pads need to be pushed out to contact the rotors or they do nothing. Not a lesson you'll forget in a hurry, Julian.

My bad, i had a reading of ABS sensor on the front right needs attention, not a direct brake replacement. So i am going to check and replace a new sensor there. LOL

Well spotted. **** me drunk. Not I, I have not touched the rear hub, I've had the car for 5 and a half year!. I'll tighten it up and see if the oil leak stops and the intermittent error goes away.
