brakes
OK I've done a hundred brake jobs but this is the first on a dodge. I'm sure there is something that I'm missing but how the heck do you get the callipers off. Bolts are out but how do you remove the clips on the top and bottom of the caliper without destroying them. I'm at work with the wheels off and need to get it done before morning.

Thanks for the help

No big thing. Stick a screwdriver/prybar in the top slot of the caliper, spread the pads a bit and they come right off.

Hitting the brakes 2-3 times at once results in almost no brakes?
