Getting Started


First remove front wheel hub cap and whilst vehicle is still on the ground loosten the front Hub nut see below & wheel nuts but do not remove at this stage(if the handbrake is poor leave the car in first or reverse gear and in any case chock the wheels on opposite side)

Next raise the car & remove the front road wheel (this would be handy as there is no point in removing the rear wheel:) )

Next using the small screwdriver remove the caliper sliding plate clips top and bottom.

Then using the old screwdriver and the hammer tap out the sliding plates top then bottom then lever the caliper down then pull it out and tie it up out of the way (I normally sit it over the tie bar due to it's shape)
