'03 Baja Remove Rear Brake Caliper Bracket?

Featured Replies

Ref: 2003 Baja

 

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get to the two bolts holding the rear brake caliper bracket in place?

 

I managed to get the calipers off the brackets, but the bolts that hold the bracket in place are sandwiched between two other pieces.

I can't get in from the side with a wrench, because there is a lip that holds the wrench off at too much of an angle.

I can't get in with a socket, because there isn't enough clearance behind the bolts. There is some sort of shield behind the bolts.

 

I need to get the brackets off in order to replace the rear rotors.

 

Suggestions?

 

Thanks, Allan

Never mind.

I figured it out.

 

After sticking my head further into the wheel well, I realized that there are access holes in the part behind the bolts.

That allows me to get into them with a socket and a short extension.

 

Doh!
