Cheers for the help in advance.

remove clamp bolt, pull arm down to release pin from hub carrier.
pushing inwards on the disc can help.
always use correct torque settings.

Tbh i would undo the 3 arm-bj bolts first and separate that and then split the bj with a splitter if you've got one, means you don't end up fighting the arc of the arm to try and disengage the bj. To reinstall wedge the arm in position with a lever bar while you get everything positioned.
