Well that wasn't too hard. I would however highly recommend the lever type puller that glenmore suggested, after about an hour under there without enough room to swing the BFH into the pickle fork, It was clear that it would have done the job with ease. Everything else in and around there seemed to be in pretty good condition. I could feel the difference in the steering, slight but it did feel a little tighter.

Changed out the rotors (for Balo) and the pads (for OEM) as well... cleaned everything up pretty well. The inspection station cant see me till Monday but I took her for an illegal test drive of about 20 miles to bed in the brakes. The cleaning and new rotors cured most of the ABS sensor (cold brakes) low speed pulsation.

So thanks to all for your help. You saved me a lot of stress and probably a few mid job trips to the parts store. I'm going to keep an eye on those treads and get an aligned next month. Now it's time to concentrate on fishing.
