Anyone ever replaced these?

Wifes need doing and going to DIY it on the drive and seen mention of a special tool that I may or may not need.

FYI if anyone searches for this its reasonably handy. getting the old cable guides out of the calipers is a total bitch though. grinder, drill, hammer in that order.

didnt need a special tool, 12mm socket does the same job to unlip the cables from the chassis entry points up front.

Might have to look into this myself, feels like the wifes Mini has a crap/non-existent connection on the left hand side.
