I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I figured I would just post this.
To remove the caliper, you only have to loosen the screw on bottom rear of the caliper. You can then rotate it 180 degrees upwards, push it backwards, and the top will just slide out. (There is no screw on the top) Then to remove the caliper/rotor housing, there are two 14mm bolts on the front side of your car. Voila, everything that you need to get to that rotor is not loose or off. Good luck! A B C D Imagine these letter as the driver side brake assembly. A and C are the Caliper housing bolts B is the pin that slides out to release the caliper D is the bolt you have to remove. I believe it is a 12mm, if not 13mm. |

So which one is it? Just slide in or is it going to need some hitting to install it?
