Next you need to remove the one time use self locking bolts. They are found on the inboard side on the top and bottom of the caliper. You need to use an open end wrench (15 mm) to hold the guide pin (has rubber boots around it) while using a 14 mm ? ratchet to loosen the bolt. Make sure you have your stand ready to put your caliper on. Once you loosen the bottom bolt, pull the caliper to the rear. The pads may stay on or they may come out with the caliper. You have to pull hard because the pads are adhered to the caliper and they are bedded onto the rotor.
