stripping down brake calipers

[scott30]

hi all want to strip these calipers down to bare metal any tips on what to use and how to get the calipers apart would be great thanks all scott

permatex gasket remover or nitromors will remove the paint. to get them apart just twist the black stopper on the front its attached to a nut underneath and will allow you to take the arms off the spindle

p.s. youve put this in the stickies section of the resto board so you might want to get it moved. as it aint really a stickies topic mate

Get some grips mate and hold the back of the spindle, then you should be able to unscrew the front
