Where are brake caliper bolts?

OcOnnor220 · October 24th, 2011, 10:58 AM

Ive never changed the brakes before in my 03 cobra, ive changed them in my 2001 gt and just to prep myself yesterday i felt around the back of the caliper but didnt feel any bolts that are traditionally on the back that can pop the brake pad out...i havent taken a closer look but is there something there im missing? what is different about this brembo set up that i should know before changing the pads?

Should be a pin you pull out and the caliper will twist out. Or look for a manual

Yep front calipers have a pin with a d clip. remove that and they should pull right off.

Yep it's as easy as that. The rears are the difficult ones.
