They are easy enough to do , there is a rubber grommet at the back bottom of the backplate to loosen off the handbrake if the disc doesnt just pull of after removing the caliper.



Just be aware that the bolts that hold the calipers to the backplate are prone to seizing then snapping off when trying to remove them , the last few cars I have done , I have ended up splitting the caliper in half and leaving the inside half on the car to remove the discs.

If you do have problems and the bolts snap , I can drill them out and fix them

Cheers Ian
