can someone plz give me a step by step process on how to remove so i can paint them. thnx

 

remove wheel. remove 2 screws on top-rear of caliper, remove brake line. remove caliper. very easy to do!!

 

remove wheel, remove two 17mm bolts holding caliper to knuckle(on the rears, its 14mm). remove brake line bolt, i think its a 12mm bolt. it is not necessary to remove the two 14mm bolts holding the caliper bracket onto the caliper.

its not even really necessary to remove the caliper to paint it. especially since youll be squirting brake fluid everywhere if you do. then youll have to bleed the brake system.

i just wouldnt take the things off. not worth the hassal. ive completely replaced the brake fluid twice, and its kind of a pain. painting them with them on is easy.

btw, someone move this to brakes. wink.gif

 

Yea, plus the rear calipers on a tiburon are a b**** to paint if you take them off newayz. they are made up of a few different pieces that all fall apart once you take them off the rotor. might be easier to keep the rears on...

news flash brake fluid is like 2 bucks. but if you wanna do it while they're on make sure u get some newspaper or something and protect ur car's paint job and ur rotor & everything else around the area ur gonna be spraying.

 

i need to repaint my calipers.. maybe i'll buy some high temp paint while at the store today

 

get this stuff dude, it works great...

are you going to replace anything else?? I didn't mine when i replaced the pads and rotors so I just bolted the calipers on without the rotors and painted them like that. other wise just mask off the rotors and buy the duplicolor kit at autozone. you paint it on, much, much, better than the spray cans. laugh.gif

 

why even mask off the rotors? you can get paint on them... it will just rub off after breaking a few times

 

the most important thing is to make sure you properly spell the word brake
