How could you tell this car in the scrap yard was a 140ps rather than 170ps?

I need to do my rear brakes so seeing the position of the adjuster is helpful.
Just building up the courage to do it.
Any tips for getting off the disc if it gets stuck against the brake shoes due to the worn disc? - That is what I am most nervous about.
Thanks man

It's easy to distinguish between 130/170ps looking at the engine code (White sticker)

RE brake shoes, the handbrakes on these take some settting up to get right, I actually spent longer doing these than the timing belt... Georgeandkira pretty much has it down in post#20- The only other bit of advice I'd have is spend £6 on the fitting kit, that way if you do end up having to rag on the disc to get it off, the only damage you'll do is to the retaining springs and you'll have replacements.
