Hose is held to suspension strut with c-clip, loosen and retighten union joint while still in clip for ease of undoing. then remove clip holding hose with pliers
Top up reservoir and to avoid fluid loss, Clamp existing rubber hose off above Wheel cylinders callipers. Spread brake pads slightly to clear disc rotor edge then undo callipers from hub - suspend from strut with cord or wire and unscrew old pipe. Immediately replace existing with new hose to callipers. With master cylinder reservoir sealed airtight undo union nut at top of existing rubber hose where clipped to strut. Replace existing lower hose fitting with new hose.Tighten union. replace c clip and bleed brakes at nipple on callipers until all air out of lines.
Job done road test for hard pedal repeat bleeding as necessary.
you are probably trying to get the callipers of by not removing the correct bolts
calliper mount bolts are 2 studs that hold the calliper frame onto the axle and by undoing these bolts the calliper assembly can be lifted off the rotor within the length of the brake hose
Did you take a thin stiff blade like a scraper and push the pads back into the caliper?? If not the brake pads are likely hanging it up. Did you undo both caliper mounting pins/bolts or did you possibly undo one and one pad pin???
Jack & support with stands, remove wheels, undo botom caliperslide bolt, flip up calliper & remove pads only 1 side, drain some fluid out of the brake master cylinder, push caliper piston back with G clamp, install new pads, flip caliper down & do up bottom bolt, repeat with other side, replace wheels & your done
remove front wheel, undo the retaining bolts from the brake caliper and remove it, do not undo the fluid line that runs to the caliper or you will have to bleed the brakes, just tie the caliper up under the guard somewhere
remove the metal cap from the middle of the rotor, remove the retaining pin from the nut and remove the wheel bearing from the stub axle, the rotor should now be free to remove from the car.
fit the new rotor, grease the bearings if required and tighten to remove any slop in the rotor, once that is done you can put the retaining pin back in place.
You may have to press the caliper piston in to get enough clearance to fit the brake pads over the new rotor, this can be done with a "G" clamp, just remove the outer pad, place a small piece of wood over the face of the inner pad where the "G" clamp is going to sit to protect the pad and wind the clamp to compress the piston, replace the outer pad and fit back into the caliper before you put the caliper over the rotor and bolt it on
hope this helps
youll have to clamp the brake hose,undo the bleed screw,and push the piston[s] back in,then shut off bleed screw,undo clamp on hose,and try assembly again.bracket first,then pads into bracket,then slide caliper over pads,and then put bolts holding caliper back in ,with a bit of grease on the slides.
You have the 2 bolts off the swing arm? Got the caliper resting on the arm? pull the pin, pads out, slowly squeeze the pistons in with a C-clamp, put in the new pads, put the caliper back on, 2 bolts, all set. Hope this helps.
just undo the bolts for your calliper and the calliper will slide off, push with a screw driver from the bottom and they will slide off.use a c clamp to push back the calliper and put the pads on slide the calliper back into place , tighten the bolts on the calliper and pump your bracks all will be good.
