Caliper Removal

[negatron]

HI all!

So i'm thining of painting my calipers but does anyone know how to take them off and put them on again? I mean I don't want to mess around with brakes without getting some instructions!

ok... what about how do i remove the break pads?

[darkeh]

take the wheel off :)

2 bolts, can't remember exact size will let u remove caliper, theres another 2 if you want to remove the caliper + mounting bracket.

pretty straight forward as long as everything goes back how it came out

if you wanna spray paint your calipers, just cover the surrounding area with newspapers. this is the easy way. :)

17 mm bolts for the calipers on the front 14 mm the the rears :)

your best 'NOT' to just spray and pray so to speak .....as the VHT paint tends to turn to rubber and makes the pads very hard to remove at a later date
