your being daft. you dont need a stand to do it. the rear calliper can be taken off from the carrier (dont loose the shim on the carrier as you cant buy a new one YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED). the rear callipers on the pointy dont usually fur up as they are anodised in the recesses so its just a case of strip clean and grease. all pointy rear callipers are the same for all years.

dont go fancy with brake fluid any dot4 will do. dont forget to buy Red Rubber Grease, i'm not joking. brake fluid is hygroscopic so will suck water which is the cause of the furring on the seal recesses.
