See the black round cup thing on top of this pic?
there's a cap on it, if you pull it off, there's a 7mm allen bolt inside and it just removes the caliper from the bracket if you just only want to change the pads only.
BTW the bolts you were talking about trying to take off...they're on there torqued to 81 ft/lbs....you just need to use more muscle  |
I'll check out the hex bolt business. Kinda misleading DIY then if all you need to do is loosen a hex nut. Should be a huge time saver though.
No way I'm going to be able to generate 81ft-lbs torque of torque in that tight space using a jack stand. Up in the air on a lift I have half a chance with my weight behind it.
Thanks for the allen bolt tip.
