Hi it's been a while!
I'm replacing front wheel bearings ('75 120y) and I have had to remove the knuckle in order to get the lower caliper bolt out! Is this right? All the service manuals i've found just say "remove brake caliper" but I can't get to bolt out!

No need to remove the knuckle. Just need to loosen the bolts. Is it a 120Y Coupe or 120Y 4-door
On the 1200, which uses the same strut as the Japan-built 120Y:
* loosen both strut-to-knuckle bolts just slightly
* on the side where the caliper bolt won't come out, completely remove the strut-to-knuckle bolt
* rotate the strut a little bit. Now the caliper bolt can be removed

Thanks! I was worried that I was missing something or that i had used wrong parts when I rebuilt the front end many years ago!
It is a 120y 4 door that has been in my family for 45 years!
I followed your procedure with one addition. I had to remove the top caliper bolt and swing the caliper out slightly in order for the strut bolt to come out past the piston.
Many thanks for the info.
