Rear Brake Caliper Removal/Replacement

[tiggerspr96]

Can anyone please provide detail instructions/directions on how to remove the rear brake calipers and all tools needed or involved. I have been search this great site and others dedicated to the Mark VIII, but I cannot get any clear cut information. I appreciate anyone's help on this. Also, I would be interested if anyone has used larger rotors (drilled/slotted)? I had R1 Concept's installed by NTB and they have been great thus far. I just want to replace my calipers with aftermarkets or get the ones I take off custom painted. Thanks guys.

just unbolt the caliper from the slides (the rubber boots) and slide up watch the e brake cable it gets hung up and makes pulling the caliper up a pain and the pistons screw in dont buy the crappy little box thingie (its worthless) just spend like $40-$50 and buy the real tool just ask for a rear disc brake caliper tool and turn the pistons in. no info on larger brakes tho

I agree about the 4 sided tool...I got one, it was useless...I borrowed a nice too from a guy at work, it applied pressure as it turned the piston...if you don't apply pressure, you will be turning it all day.

The one I got didn't fit on ANY side.
The tool I used was from Snap On. It may have actually been "Blue Point" I can't remember, but it sure made the job easier.
