Brembo Calipers need help asap

Does anyone know the size and thread size of the bolt that bolts the front calipers to the knuckle? I want to say the head is 19mm but I'm unsure any help would be greatly appreciated.

mitsubishiparts.net should have exploded assembly drawings of everything on their site. They might have it on there. If not, give them a call and i bet they can tell you.

Another question related to these never had to pull the pads, do the pins in the side release? How do you get these out?

Tap them gently with a small punch and hammer and they'll slide out.

There has to be more to it than just punching the pins out?

You might have to push back the pads a little to push the pistons in. Then just pull them out the top. Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the shims on the back of the pads.

Nope there is not...however make sure you fully seat them when installing. Nothing quite like losing a pin at high speed
