Removing caliper mounts
Im ordering a Strange s60 and they need me to send in my backing plates and caliper mounts. I got the backing plates off ok but Im having issues with the caliper mounts. Looks like the ebrake spring is in the way of getting to the bolt, I have the other one off just fine.
Thanks for the help!

Sigh. I think I might just take them to Napa and purchase semi-loaded calipers and use the stock ones as cores. Its worth the 20$ or whatever to me at this point...
I might just take a sawzall to the shaft of the bolt so I can get my ebrake **** off.

I can get the caliper mount off the backing plate but I cannot get the caliper separated from the bracket. The top bolt is out in the open and easy to get to, the second one is hard to get to because the ebrake stuff is there.

I ended up just taking a cut off wheel to the nut on the pin and getting it off that way. I picked up new pins and bolts but the pin is about a half inch to long. Think it would be ok to chop it down to size?
