    Rear Brake Cailper Removal

    Anyone got any tips for getting the bottom bolt off without removing anything like brake pipes etc?

    Hard little sucker to get to! Do you use a special tool or anything?

    Thanks

    Cameron, Doing both my front and back as we speak, i had to remove the hard line to get in there.

    Have you found a plater in OZ or are you going the VHT / Powder route.

    IIRC I removed the bolt you can get to then rotated the caliper around
    the other bolt as far as I could. This gave me enough room to loosen
    the second bolt.

    Just wanting to get the hub off so I can install some longer wheel studs!

    No plating involved.

    Andy the bottom bolt is so tight I can't rotate the caliper.

    I might try grinding down an old socket....

    "Rotate" may involve use of a big hammer.
