Cheers. I'll give it another shot once it's dryer.
I've actually got a spare disc so I'll use that as a wedge.
Bike designers are fucking sadists sometimes though. Doing the rear was a pain as the lever and caliper are on different sides. I tried clamping a stick to the pedal, but the casting prevented the clamp from holding.
Another eg is the obstacles around the filter, which I tried to remove to get better access to the filter. these torx took forever to get out as I had to hold a torx bit with an adjustable spanner to access it.
Inspired by the masking tape, to do them up I wrapped tape around the bit and then jammed it into a ratchet spanner. Obvs didn't tighten it probably, but it got it 80% there which saved about 15mins of ¼ turns.
