Without an impact wrench, the screws of the yokes are really difficult to remove. I arrived with a custom-made extension, because space is limited, and a torx 55 angled wrench.

Thanks for this tutorial. You have to heat the Torckx 55 if necessary. Between seizure and brake stop, impossible to remove otherwise for my part.
