Out of interest the calipers on the Corsa C are ALOT easier to remove, you just take off 2 standard bolts and the calipers slide off, i think Vauxhall may have done this deliberately to make life easier for their mechanics

You got the two caliper retaining allen bolts bout 8mm i think, they under the caliper dust caps, take them out, then disconnect the brake hose, clamp the brake hose or brake fluid will piss all over the place (make sure the resivoir cap is on tightly, maybe put some cling film under it b4 you tighten it to get a better seal).

once the caliper is off take the front brakepad out and the one atached to the caliper.

This is where you need your weetabix, the two caliper mounting bolts have shit loads of locktite on them so you gotta get 4 of the fookers out, i broke my wrench doin this.

once out clean everything with brake cleaner and wire brush all the shit off, then get spraying or brushing, (spraying gives a better cote) youl need very high temperature paint, make sure it goes up to 500'C

This what mine look like.

u av 2 1st bolts which rnt that tight n then 2 more which if i was u id make sure uve had ur weetabix coz i changed my disks at weekened n fuckin hell they were tight ada bout 20 goes on each 1:lol:
mine were star keys aswel so make sure u av sum if urs are:)

Yeah, you've got the two allen key bolts at the back of the caliper. They are REALLY tight to get off, so dont be afraid to use every bit of your strength, cos they wont break until your arm has. Dont understand wat u on about taking things off?

Hi All! I Painted my Drums at the Weekend and was gonna attempt to paint my Calipers this weekend! i'd really prefer to take them off to do this. Would i be right in thinking that if i take out the 2 size 7 Allen Key Bolts, then the whole caliper will come off? Also, what can i remove off the calipers without having to buy replacement parts when putting back together?

p.s. If you got some experience or advise with this plz post here.

Many Thanks :thumbs:
