this weekend weather permiting im gonna be fitting new front lower ball joints and new drilled and groved dics and pads all round.

is it worth getting hold of a brake caliper winding tool to help with fitting?

Not really, take the cap off the brake fluid and then just a bit of force and voila

its just that on certain cars they need a winding tool to wind the piston back
