dead easy chap.

Take the wheels off. 2 bolts behind the caliper holding that on. pull the caliper off then u can pull the disk off. undo the wire clip, pull out the spring and slide out the 2 metal guids and thats pads out too.

Undo brake pipe from caliper and its free to move.

I believe ian godspeed provides refurbed calipers.

hi there,

you have to seesaw a screwdriver in the caliper
Otherwise I've got reconditioned 2-pot calipers with new 277mm discs and black viper pads. They'll stop u well -> please msg me, better make an offer, thx
