- Calais VT 98
Hi All,
Last night I got the back wheels off my VT Calais in preperation to replace the brake pads. I have read on some cars that you can replace the break pads without the need to unbolt the calipers however on the VT Calais 98 I don't think that can be done. It looks to me like the best way to do it on my car would be to remove the bottom bolt on the caliper and then lef the caliper up from the top bolt and replace the pad.
I'm just looking for some confirmation that I'm right and there are no tricks to replace the break pad without needing to unbolt the caliper.
thanks
