Trying to remove brake caliper (stone lodged somewhere)!!
theroxbury:
as i think theres a stone lodged somewhere behind the wheel.
Ive removed the 2 mounting bolts but cant seem to lift the thing off, and there a bolt im missing that needs to be removed?
PDT:
Are you removing the caliper slide pins to drop the actual caliper off or the caliper and the carrier?
Were the bolts you removed large 21mm or 7mm allen key types?
StuF:
thought this thread was about something totally different! :signLOL:
theroxbury:
the topm and bottom bolts (the inside ones)
certainly not the allen key ones.
was told it should come straigh off with a bit of persuasion but feels like summat else is keeping it secured :)
ive got the stone out anyway but worth knowing for the future
Richn83:
You should only need to remove the allen bolts and remove not the big bolts to remove the caliper the big bolt are for the carrier and you shouldnt need to remove them. If your discs are a little bit lipped then you might need to remove the pad clip as the pads will be fairly tight on the disc.
