Hi all, my rearpistons are sticking on my 2000 5dr vtis, what i need to know is how you remove the rear calipers from the car, i basically stripped everythingoff apart from the caliper itself, im not sure how tode-attach the handbrake cable from the caliper to pull it off, please help, thx all kind regards.

 

should just have to remove the 2 caliper mounter bolts. thier on the backside of the caliper and their both 14mm i believe. just remove those bolts and the whole caliper should wiggle off.

 

Hi m8, the caliper has already been removed, ie the caliper mounting bolts have been removed to slide it off,what i wanted to know is how i get the caliper off the car altogether so i can clean them out, cheers.

 

im not sure if the newer models are the same but i figure they are. if it is, the parking brake cable will be attached to the caliper by a clevis pin which is secured by a cotter pin. remove those pins and the cable should come off. as for removing the brake line, block the line somehow so fluid dosnt go everywhere, andtake the line off thecaliperi've seen many ppl prevent fluid from coming thru the lines by clamping the line with a vise grip.

 

Hi m8, ivenever heard of these pins before, have you did it yourself before?, if so are they pretty simple to take out and put back in, its just that ive got a bad habit of breaking things on my car whentrying to fix/do something ive never done before lol,thx again kind regards.

 

i've never removed a caliper from the rear like that but from what i see, its pretty simple. if the pins are like any other cotter or clevis pins, then it should be easy to remove. if ur worried about breaking a pin, u may be able to get a couple from the dealership or auto parts store.
