Painting Brembos how to
caliper off car>>>>2 bolts (i believe aprox 17mm) and one line (12-14mm) hemostat >> free caliper..... and the rotor is as easy as a good thud with a hammer.
thing is if you remove the line you have to bleed your brakes..... and as i found out the hard way alunimum calipers and steel bleeders oxidize together and in no way shape or form like to be loosened or removed... almost had to buy a new caliper when i did this.....had one break off in the caliper too.......
was a nightmare with some good old PB blaster and a little heat... the part that worries me most is that my car only had 50k on it.......
neglecting that fact that I "should" bleed my brakes more often.
anyone else have this probem..

I Used Tal-Strip from Avanced auto to get it done and just sanded what was left and then used fine sand paper to get a nice surface and then did my steps.I also used alcohol afterwards to clean reidue off.
