Borrowed Drmini's special tool and undid the casellated nuts on the disc brake cvjoints and took the driveshafts off - I had removed the brakes from the car before I had undone the nut.

Fitted the brake hoses unto the drum brakes back on the car, and filled it with fluid. One hose still needs nipping up, a quick check then bleed the brakes. Lucky the engine's out. I'd hate to have to do that with it in.

Swapped 4myego's rockers in the 1360S from fresh Toyota Corollas (1.46:1) to fresh offset bushed pressed steel ones (1.3:1).
More torque, less top end, for the way he'll drive it. 8)
