front brake and rotor help
ok, so my front pads and rotorsare way beyond min specs, and i can't seem to get the caliper off to change the rotor. I already did the rears, which i might add were fairly easy. but i just cant seem to get even the pads off of that monster caliper. if anyone can help, please do. thank youi hate not being able to drive my baby.

RE: front brake and rotor help
to change the rotors the front brakes are pretty easy this is what your goonna need
i take the whole caliper and bracket off which is much very easy
17mm or 19mm cant remember exact bolt size of thecaliper bracket boltsocket 1/2in drive
12mm socket 1/2in drive
breaker bar would be suggested with 1/2in drive
first
follow the hard line of the break line. there will be a clamp that hold the line in place located near the bottom bolt of the caliper bracket. its a 12mm bolt
next
there will be 2 bolts that holds the caliper bracket on. locate them and break them free. take them out and the caliper is free with the bracket!!!
That is it for the pads u will need a clamp or i cant remember if i pushed the piston in my bhand but that all you have to do. install new pad remember to disconnect the sensor pad line.

that is a different way of doing it. but i did my rotors about 3 months ago with drilled rotors for the front and rear was pretty easy.about a total of 10 bolts for all 4 wheels [not including the wheel lug bolts lol]

I ran into the same problem. I did the back pretty easy, even painted the calipers, but I couldn't get the front off. They are totally right, you need a breaker bar, 1/2 inch, with a 21 or 22 mm. Here is a link you can look at.http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articl...rakestwin.html. good luck.
