front calipers

warrior24 · Aug 3, 2009

After realizing that my front driver side wheel bearing is shot I have to remove the calliper to get to it. However there are no bolts to take it off its like a 2 piece thing you squeeze to remove how the heck do I remove it?

Those are the rubber split pins

with a little bit of finesse you can simply drive them out with a punch.

there are two versions of special tool made by OTC and I have them both
but frankly you don't really need them

I use them, if Lost I'd buy another, the only vehicle I have that uses
that style of brakes is my Aerostar...

And my '93 ranger but I'm converting that one to the 1995-97 brakes.

A 6" 3/8'ths ratchet extension works perfectly. Use the fat side to push the pin into the track from the outside and use the thin side to push it through.

I use a flat screw driver and make sure to just strike the stainless parts, not the rubber.

Ok thanks guys I used a bolt and hammer and it slid right out.

Using some brake grease on those pins helps immensely...especially when the caliper moves due to brake wear..
