Removing the Brake Caliper

[michaelcz]

How hard is it to remove the brake caliper. What the process? Thanks for your help

piece of cake Just remove the brake line, if its the rear take off the e brakes cable, then remove the 2 bolts on the sliders (the bolts the have the rubber boots on them and remove the 1st half of the caliper, then remove the 2 bolts from behind the hub holding the other piece of caliper on and your done. When installign reverse, and if the piston gets in the way whe ninstallign you will have to rotate it clockwise, while putting rpessure on it, however if its a new caliper you shouldnt have to do this.

Are you trying to remove the caliper and replace it, or just pull it off to change pads and/or rotors?

Front caliper or rear? Gen I or Gen II?

Makes a difference...

Be sure to use the box end wrenches that wrap around so you dont screw up the lines.
