*Urgent Help Needed*

Changing rear disks at the moment.
Have wheel off, and have removed top bolt holding the caliper on.
How do i remove the bottom bolt? There is a metal bar in the way. i am referring to this page http://www.fubarnet.com/rear_discs.html
I have a 182. Is there a difference between this and a ph1 172?
Cheers

Its its a small bar with a pin trough? If it is pull the pin out and knock the bar out wil hammer and screwdriver, mine was hard to get out so used a bit of wd40

Couldn't get it out mate.
Haven't really got a clue what i'm doing so going to leave it. Its going for a service tomorrow so will ask them how much they'll charge to swap them. If they take the piss i'm sure someone i know would have a better idea than me.
Cheers.

Right, decided i will give it another go later.
I'll try and slide that bar out. I assume the bold will be accessible then?
Once the 2 bolts are off will the caliper come off? Or will i need to mess about with the piston? If so, could someone please be very helpful and explain in layman's terms what to do.
Thanks

grab a hammer and hit the bar to move it over, it shouldnt be in the way of the bolt. it should move easily with a good hit! Is it the same on both sides?
