any how to remove front rotor articles? If I remove my wheel, then dismantle and take off front caliper, will it go back on easy over the rotor or will it decompress and have to get a special piston tool to push it back in. Do i tape off the area where the brake pad goes around on the rotor? Obviously i dont have to paint the rear, since no one sees. How long does it take to dry?

-unbolt that caliper
-set the caliper up in the wheel well where it wont fall off
-slide the rotor off
- put the caliper back on
-do what ever you have to do with the rotor and then put everything back on.
-when putting the pads in you may have push the caliper piston back in just a hair.
- to do so just take a towel wrap the caliper so you dont scratch it. use the brake pad on the inside and squeze the piston back into the whole just a little bit not all the way. You can squeez it all teh way back in, but you do not need to.

thanks for trying to explain it. what do you mean pull out the pads? the pads are in the caliper. how do you pull out pads if there locked in underneath. i can squeeze the piston back in by hand? i wish there was pics of what i am unbolting and so on. how long does paint take to drive?Originally Posted by gte959s

Changing pads in the Brembo calipers is different from the standard calipers and is easier to do.
