changing hawk wrx brake pads
 
Anybody now what the best way is to remove caliper to get at the brake pads.

There are 4 14 mm ones and 2 17mm ones (assume you only need these removed if changing the disks). There are also 2 pins. Do you just knock these out and keep caliper as it is?

Any other advice?

Cheers

just remove the pins and clips m8 , you dont need to remove the caliper.

In the garage doing this now Got the pins out easy enough. Where are the clips?

Cant get the pads to move?

Thanks

There is a cross spring clip on the top holding the pads tight it will come of as you remove the pins . then with a bar or screwdriver work the pads so it moves the pistons on the caliper this will release the pads.

Yeh took that clip of before removing the pins!! Will move the pistons back with a bar. Thanks very much for your help mate.
