Its a K3 pointy SV.
I seem to remember someone did a picture guide?
What bits and bobs do I need? Red rubber grease? I'm going to get them all checked by a clued up mate once I've done it.
Any weird bits of kit or handy tips you have found out the hard way, gratefully received!

Done mine las week, a bitch of a job if like on mine,everything is seized.
Try to loosen the main 2 allen bolts that hold the caliper together before removing from the bike.
Even though i had the correct size snapon allen socket wouldn't budge.Next tried loads of heat,no chance so tried a breaker bar,and just rounded off the bolts.
Out comes the hacksaw,took ages as they are big old bolts. Then the grinder to tidy up and get rid of the remains.
Back with some heat and a hammer and punch and finaly they came apart.
Again more heat and mole grips to remove the stud thats left in.
Oh yeah i forgot,before i did that,i had to do the same with the pad pins.
