New (to me!) '77 CB400F - US model
Nurse Julie:
Oh dear Matt, your introduction to the world of the fubbered fixings has started early on in your project. It will get worse though, so something to look forward too.
K2-K6:
Just go through between the spokes to the two bolts on the back of the caliper to remove it.
All the fluid is in the outer half (no connection between the two parts at all) so you can unbolt and swing out a little to get access.
It'll become clear when you unbolt it, there's no bits to catch you out so easy to proceed like this.

Finally took the time to really look at the whole thing - based on that and what you said about the fluid, I figured, why not just loosen these two a smidgen:

Worked a treat, wheel spins freely. I'm wondering if those are the bolts you meant? Anyway, I'll see about removing the caliper later...
