Dumb Caliper Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Someday · 03-28-2019, 03:40 PM

I have a 1971 C10 with stock front disk brakes. I am upgrading the front suspension with new coils and dropped spindles.

My question is how to remove the caliper off the rotor. I've removed the allen bolts and it's loose. The rotor has a machined groove around the front and rear of the rotor and the pads have a corresponding projection that fits into the groove. I can't get it the clear out of the groove to remove the caliper.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, I have searched google and this forum.

Thank you for any help
