Took mine out for 1st time, returned home and straightened the warped rear disc.
This. Found the high spot and gave it a tweak.

Found the high spot and gave it a tweak.Little word of advice........don't do that.One, it's just wrong, two, i've never heard of a warped rear disc, EVER, and three, don't do that ever again.....please. You aren't 'fixing' anything by bending a disc. If it needs changing, then simply change it.I doubt very very much that it's warped anyway, just give your caliper a good clean up and use Red Rubber grease on the outer pistons, do it once or twice a year and it will not misbehave.

Bacho is good kit - with an expensive price to match. That is an expensive spanner !
Like these, also a great seized brake piston and oil filter removal tool.
Celticdog, they were seized solid 1/4 way out, the caliper was in the vice getting plenty of heat and the pistons were heading for the scrap heap anyway, so no harm done.
My stilettos are out of shot, that's just one of those shoes you find on the road, I keep it in my pocket for emergencies, in this case it was used as a prop to give a sense of proportiontion to my exhibits.
