take the 2 10mm bolts off the caliper that hold it to the steering knuckle and then there is another bolt i belive its a 13mm but not to sure take that off then reverse process

then bleed your brakes and ur done!

bleeding the brakes could need two people and is the most important part.

Spend the money for a Haynes manual, if you plan on doing your own work it will pay for itself. Also consider replacing both calipers at the same time. If one is bad the other might be going too. As long as you have it apart check both sides of your rotors and replace if necessary.

They are freaking great to bleed brakes. Worth the money without a doubt.
