I've googled until I'm frustrated but can't find a manual
Any ideas?
It looks like a 1980 XS400SG / 1979 RD400F caliper alright.
A good source to check parts is www.cmsnl.com
Front caliper for the 1980 XS400SG is here http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xs400sg-1980.../E-05.html
You should be able to see all the bolts that hold the caliper together now and be be able to dismantle.
