redzed Posted April 21, 2007 Author Posted April 21, 2007 After speaking to bigphil today, it seems way easier than some of the guides suggest Will post pics when the spacers are on Thanks to all who posted guides and to bigphil for the personal service Quote
Removed Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 it's 2 bolts for each caliper, can't really get much easier than that... (that's if they come off in the first place ) Quote

(that's if they come off in the first place ) You`re right about the 2 bolts, had 2 attempts now and can`t get th feckers out I may have to take the car to a garage to have these fitted Quote
letank87 Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 I had the same problem, it took me two attempts too! I ended up getting myself a long breaker bar to get the caliper bolts off. I must admit, the design is pretty poor IMO from a servicability point of view. Having a brake tube go into the back of the caliper does make it awkward to remove the caliper from around the disc, but it does move sufficiently out the way if you unbolt the tube brackets. Just make sure you support the weight of the caliper once you have unbolted it. A bit of string tied to the top of the suspension member should do the trick! Good luck! Quote
