Couple of little tips, wish I knew these at the time as it would have saved me a lot of time and annoyance today.
Undo the bleed screws on the brakes and leave them loose, I sheared mine today (very pissed off)
There is no need to undo the hub nuts (41mm socket), you can remove the bolts (13mm) that hold the backplate onto the rear uprights through the wheel carrier (bit with studs on).
If the cv boots are perished you can get expandable ones rather than having to strip them down. DO NOT cut the cans as per the haynes manual.
If you buy any bits in, dont assume as they came from a company that does specific roadster bits that they are correct. Measure them to make sure they are correct eg mushroom depth, steering rack extensions have an internal thread (both have happened to me)
