Those look awesome... only issue as i'm getting mine rebuilt (don't have time to do mine)

calling the brembo rep in MI i get this from them:

The calipers are not made to be split apart. There is special thread locker used by Brembo and special torque values achieved only while using said sealant.
Not to say it's impossible to put them back together and have it work, but Brembo will not stand by them at that point.

I love the color but even though i'm seeing some paint peel etc... just going to rebuild and pu them back on... plus mine are brownbo's now anyway

The Brakes are over 6 years old, Dont think Brembo would warranty them anyhow. That is just typical liability CYA stuff right there from Brembo.
