Can somebody please jolt my memory as to how to get the front brake pads out of the PBR calipers? I know that you remove something and the caliper then pivots away from the rotor, but what do you remove and which direction does it pivot? Its been nearly 4 years since I fitted these things... frightening to think how quickly time has gone by [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Chris,
I usually take both bolts out that holds the caliper in place. Then I remove the old pads and use a C clamp to push the caliper piston back. Then stick in the new pads and bolt it back in place.
And probably best to monitor the fluid level as you compress the pistons as well. I made that mistake last week on my Explorer and looking back on maintenance done in Italy, the garage had topped up my reservoir early in the summer - which I hadn't noticed so when I came to replace the pads on thursday - like the fountains of Rome.
