On the back side of the brakes, will be 2 bolts attached to steering knuckle. You have 2 ways to remove it. You can take the 2 bolts that hold the caliper onto the caliper mounting bracket, usually a rubber boot on them, then remove the caliper. At that point, you'll have easier access to the 2 remaining bolts that screw into the knuckle. The other option is just remove the whole assembly, remove the 2 bolts in the mounting bracket to remove the whole thing.
Only take that line off if your changing the caliper. If your doing the pads then just press the piston back in. Put the caliper back on to take the brake line off. there should be a screw through a "block" that is at the top of the caliper. It takes some pressure to break it loose and that's why you should leave it installed while you loosen the bolt.
remove tire. remove caliper bolts, hang caliper out of the way. Remove caliper support bracket. cut or pry off rotor securing ring from one wheel stud. wiggle off rotor...rubber mallet may be needed if rust is present.
take off tires. two 14mm bolts behind the caliper. loosen the bottom 1. tilt the caliper up. slide caliper inward of the car, let caliper hang. two 17mm bolts behind the bracket take it off. and rotors should slide out. if rotor seized spray WD40 and hammer the rotor. careful don't hammer the stud it will screw up the thread.
Jack up the vehicle, and place a jack stand under the frame where you are working. Remove the wheel/tire. Observe the caliper. On the back side, remove the bolts that holds the caliper onto the caliper bracket. Suspend the caliper, and try to not stretch or kink the rubber brake hose. Next, remove the bolts that holds the caliper bracket to the metal plate. After the bracket is loose, tap on the backside of the rotor to dislodge it from the hub. This is a very easy procedure.
I just did the rear caliper on my '95 Deville Concours and found that the caliper would not rotate enough to slide it off the top bolt. My solution was to remove the parking brake cable bracket bolt behind the caliper. This gave me the ability to rotate the caliper enough to get the caliper off of the brake pads and slide the caliper towards the inside of the car.
does it matter which whole it goes into, i rebuilt the calper bracket about 4 years ago and then it went out about 2 weeks ago .. so iim not 100% sure did it right the first time and cant find help on google or youtube or any diagrams of it
