Rear calipers

Changing rear calipers.
Just want to check whether there are any suprises when I undo the two bolts for each of the handbrake assemblies ?

They just lift off right they are not gonna jump off and scatter the peices.

Cheers.

They come off as a complete unit, so no worries there!
The 4 bolts should be stainless as well so should come off no problem. I wouldn't bother trying to rebuild yourself, I got exchange units complete with pads fitted,and brought new brass forks, just bolted straight on.

Andy,
Thanks, it's my "stopping ones" that need replacing, I have a sticking piston not uncommon on older cars stored over the winter. I decided just to change both calipers, I'm in the States so it's quite inexpensive.
The actual parking calipers work ok. Although I'll probably give em a copper greasing while they are off.
Cheers.
