Default Fiesta mk3 rear hub

This is a silly question but had anyone got the best way to do this job.

Ive got to replace the rear cylinders on the fiesta mk3 RS1800 and to get the part I need to remove it and size it up as apparently there's 13 different types.

I've removed the pads and the rear stub axle and rear coil over to get behind and remove the Allen key bolt and brake line. It's a right pain in the arse as its now rounded off the Allen bolt and the rear brake line is rounded even after use of a proper brake line tool.

However I've decided to replace both sides so I've not get touched the other one.

It's just very awkward to get to and of course it's Never been changed before.

What would your advise be?

Have you not touched the 30mm (i think) rear hub nut. Remove the cap and it will be behind there. I think the passenger side is opposite threads.
