its a lift and pull motion. if you concentrate on the center of the retainer you can see it needs to be lifed before you can remove it.


one part just slides out once you have removed the brake pads, if you want to remove the blue bit from the metal bit theres some screws you have to take out.

i tried to be as vague as possible to keep you guessing  :grin:
