Front Caliper Removal - What's the Trick?

[Kilgore Trout]

The bolts that hold the caliper on just spin and spin. What is the trick to getting the caliper off???

 

[Mike97gt]

the bolts that hold the calipoer to the caliper bracket? just hold the caliper slide with a wrench or a vise grip and loosen the bolt with a wrench or a socket.

I hope that caliper is coming off for a cobra brake upgrade....

The front wheel bearing is replaced now and it is so much better

 

[Mike97gt]

glad to hear you fixed that hub! now don't it feel good to fix stuff yourself

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Absolutely! Thanks for your assistance Mike

In the last couple weeks I have:
-replaced battery tray
-installed Optima battery
-shrink tube wrapped battery cables to cover exposed copper
-installed new IAC
-changed oil and filter
-installed hub bearing assembly

I did notice that I will be needing new brake pads soon also
