brake manual

Need help on how to remove calipers from rotors. Want to repaint.

I recommend picking up the Dodge Ram SRT-10 Service Manual for your truck. I don't have a part number, but check with your local Dodge/Chrysler dealer. It's 8400+ pages; get it on CD if you can. LOL
It's worth every penny.

I recommend mechanics gloves and have some brake spray cleaner around. If you haven't worked around trucks much, every thing is heavy and takes a strong hand.

The responses are really good shit! Some strong tech input here! Thanks friends, never tried this, but feel confident now (except for the strong hands stuff).
