John,
Remove the 3 bolts per bentley then take a good size punch and a big hammer
like a 2 1/2 pound sledge and knock that knub on the bottom of the plate
away from the bus just through the plate.  That's it the plate is off no
need to take a part all the brake stuff just take off the line (I wanted to
bleed my rear brakes any way to change the fluid). I'm going to do a write
up for the BTDT site real soon when I do my other side as I could not find
any step by steps in the archives and it would have been a real time saver.
