NeilGTi85 5 Posted October 16, 2008 Hello All, I thought while I'm waiting for my parts to arrive I'd have a clean up of my front brakes and maybe give them a lick of paint First question is, am I going to have to re-bleed them if I remove the caliper? I proberbly will i'm sure Is there just the 2 bolts holding the caliper on, on the GTi-6 brakes? Also, is it easier to remove the calipers with the wheel's on? Any pic's of the GTi-6 caliper would be great Cheers, Neil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) yes yes, though you'll fare off better when re-fitting if you remove the caliper itself from the carrier and remove the pads. absolutely not love to see you try though haven't got any myself, they look like any other lucas/girling caliper TBH! I painted mine on the car, removed the discs and pads, wire brush and coarse emery cloth, then masked up any areas I didn't want paint on.

NeilGTi85 5 Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Im sure I read on a post somewhere (searching for it now) that it was easier to undo the bolts holding the caliper on with the wheel on? Maybe I miss read it then It looks like it'll be easier for me to leave the calipers on like you say.
