FlamingGoatBalls Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Are there only 2 bolts holding the caliper on? I loosened 2 bolts on the back of the caliper with an allen wrench but the caliper still doesnt want to come off. I have pulled the caliper half way off but itsreally stuck on there good. The pads seem to be right up against the rotor. First of all I thought the pads were bad cus my breakes are squeaking but they look fine to me. Whats going on? Did I miss a step? Ill post pics in a few. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Front Calipers?? Loosen the master cylinder cap, pry the piston back into the caliper by sticking a big screw driver between the old pad and rotor. rek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlamingGoatBalls Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Ok rek had it. All I had to do was take the cap off of the master cy. God I love this group. Post a question and get an answer within minutes! Thats better than my dealership! haha. So the caliper came right off and my pads look new along with the rotor? Why are my brakes squeaking then? Also why did i just add quite a bit of brake fluid? I dont see any leaks...yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Use a large C-clamp and press the piston in. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adallak Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 take off the caliper mounting bolts?pins and put a lot of brake grease in the bushings so that the pins slide really smooth . this is important.

98Concours Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Go to the auto parts store and get a couple of packs of stop squeek for brakes. It's a little package of this goop. You take off your brake pads and put some of the goop on the back of the pad, then put the pad back on. It usually stops brake squeeks.
