Brake help!! Don't laugh

[outnumbered]

Never changed brake pads. So, I have taken the rear caliper off. Now, do I undo the two small bolts that have the rubber boots on them (appears to connect the two pieces of the caliper) in order to remove the brake pads. I see some aluminum clips on each end of the caliper that I have no idea what to do with.

Check at the top of this forum for the STICKY with the Service Manual title.

I used it when doing my brakes. It has a description of how to remove and replace calipers and pads etc.

Didn't even think to look there--thanks....but got them on and painted with the new Duplicolor kit some of you guys were talking about.

Next time you don't have to take the whole caliper off.

Just the 2 small bolts that you took off last. You can leave the larger portion of the caliper in place. Makes the job a whole lot faster. :rock:

I got mine from Decal FX:
It was like $27.00 for the 36" version. I got mine silver, which went with the black really well.

36" for the brake calipers!!!!??????

The Duplicolor kit worked very well. Calipers are extremely glossy--hopefully they stay that way. In addition to the cleaner provided in the kit, I also used acetone and a toothbrush to remove the majority of the brake dust. Probably will only use Simple Green when I clean my wheels/calipers. I think it would be less likely to dull the finish.
