Brake rotors and pads < Previous | Back to index | Next>

To remove the rotor, the brake caliper has to come off first. The caliper is held by two bolts, which are kept from unscrewing by a bend-over tab behind them. So to remove the caliper, I first bent back the tabs, then unthreaded the bolts. This top view shows removal of the upper bolt. Even though I had had the caliper off a couple of years ago, the bolts were REALLY tight!
