Help...

Anthony05GT · May 12th, 2009, 09:47 PM

I don't know if you have the hardware off or not, but sometimes you have to pry the caliper to one side to collapse the pistons a bit after the hardware is removed.

sorry, never taken em off before

svt95gt · May 12th, 2009, 09:48 PM

Do you have the bolts off? Release the parking brake. No offense but it happens

LoL, I didn't break anything...yet. Got the Shifter in though!!!

Thanks Anthony, but I guess I'm not sure which bolts they are. There are 2 on the back that look like they attatch to the caliper. I can't get them to budge.

07- I don't have the calipers off yet. I figured that I'd have to take caliper off then the bracket, in order to get the rotors changed. But I can't get the damn caliper to budge....

svt95gt · May 12th, 2009, 10:20 PM

07- I get what ur saying now. I got the bolts out, but it didn't budge. I still can't get the bracket bolts out anyway... Thanks guys!

the parkng brake is on. There is only two bolts holding it on....and maybe the anti lock brake thing? cant remember if that would stop it. what bracket? the bracket it bolts to is connected to the axle no need to touch that. So check the anti lock sensor and if thats not it, release the parking brake.

07stanggt · May 12th, 2009, 11:52 PM

Oh, i think i know what your saying, what you remove the top two bolts that face out? yea if so no need for that, just the back bolts that mount it to the brack. A big wrench helps.
