#9: Re: how to remove rear brake callipers Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 1:49 pm ---- But they shouldn't paint the whole thing anyway...
#10: Re: how to remove rear brake callipers Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 2:07 pm ---- what you mean shouldnt paint the whole thing anyway ???
#11: Re: how to remove rear brake callipers Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 2:35 pm ---- Because it's in 2 parts. There's a alloy block part with the piston and handbrake mechanism. This part doesn't need painting. There's also the C shaped section that's made from steel. That's the only bit that needs painting.
The gold part is the only bit that needs painting...
The rest of the caliper is alloy and doesn't need painting.

That also means you wouldn't have had the hassle of removing the brake pipe (and bleeding them afterwards) and handbrake cable!

The front brakes had to come off anyway as brembos arw goin on and im changing the master brake cylinder so its only a bot mre bleeding for him to do
