Default hmmm....

well i got my new rims todayand sold my old ones today too. $300 - konig verdicts i probably should have asked 400 for them but oh well i guess. they were pretty much in PERFECT condition too. not even 2 yrs. old. well anyway, my real question is which 2 bolts do i take off to just take the caliper itself off? i have to grease them because its makin an awful noise when i go to stop. i dont want to take off the lines or anything just removethe caliper from the rotor. (only only on the front )

that awful noise means your brake pads are worn down to the metal, and needs replacing. the two bolts are directly behind the caliper, i think they're 13 mm bolts (not sure), just unbolt them and the caliper comes out as a unit attached to the brake lines

one 13mm and one 12mm on the back of the caliper. you might as well check the pads while you are in there.

what kind of noise is it making?

I got gravel stuck between the rotor and the dust shield once. it made a hideous screeching/scraping noise until I found it...

its a LOUD grinding/screeching/clicky sound. sounds bad. the screw that hold the rotor on is missing though. ( when u take the rim off there are 2 there that fits flush...yea, one is missing. ) im thinking thats the problem. ill find out tomorrow and hopefully it is.
