I understand how to get the calliper off the disk, tho the problem is understanding how to get the pads out of place.
Do i need brake grease, can use a piece of wood to push the callipers back into place. Wont bother bleeding the brakes, as i tried that on the bike and failed badly.
Prob just take the wheels off and take a peek at the pads to see how they are. They DO have a lip on all of the disks, tho not have the cash to change them all at the moment, infact i have no cash to even get the brakes done one single bit..
Guess its gonna have to be done, tho with just...

Open boot, climb in and press the central locking button.
Climb out of boot and close boot.
Unsure if the boot will be locked or not, tho both door shall be locked. You could try to frig the boot sensor so that it thinks its shut so it locks it, tho then you have the hassle of getting it...
You not got a spare.?
If you have the spare, then you can use that for awhile. Think a new key is about £110 ish. If you have lost them both, then i think a new lock set maybe required, and to reprogramme the immobiliser.
I chased one of them into the fire. We tried to catch it, but it could not be done. So we then took the bottom off the coal fire, and it ran into it...
