My brother is changing brakes on his truck and is having trouble figuring out how to remove the caliper, any hints or links to a website to help? Any help is appreciated.

 

A large "C clamp". Open the valve after the pressure has been achived with th C clamp and then proceed to tighten C clamp

Take out the two 18mm bolts and pull up on the caliper? I don't know if the rear calipers use the same size bolt but I know the fronts are 18mm. Make sure you use threadlocker when putting them back in.

 

and do not open the valve when pressing the pistons back in, so a little at a time without opening the vlave, and you will not have to bleed them afterwards. Takes about two minutes total per side to compress the caliper pistons like this...SAves you the headache of bleeding..

 

Yeah we figured that out when we put brakes on my truck plus our dad told us we should of done it that way after we were done bleeding them.

 

I had a braking problem pushing the fluid back in one time, I was told to never do it again. So........I havent.

 

Take the reservoir cap off before pushing the pistons back in!!
