Ok Im trying to replace my hub assembly. Ive read the sticky on it and the sticky on the r & r and cant seem to get my caliper off.. To my understanding its just the 2 bolts on the back keeping it on or am i missing something? I can slide it back and forth on the rotor but not off.. Please shed some light on this for me.

Thanks,
Mike
 












it's just the 2 bolts, make sure you removing the whole bracket and not just the caliper. With the bolts removed the bracket pulls right off.
And make sure the bracket bolts are torqued correctly when you put them back and you use locktite blue on the threads. There are cases of them working loose if they are improperly torqued, there is a whole thread on this!!
 






Finally got the assembly off. Going to borrow a torque wrench today to make sure all bolts are torqued correctly.

Thanks again,
Mike
