How tough is it to remove calipers?
 

I did the brakes on my old Z a long time ago but it has been a minute. I've heard "things" about sensors in the wheel (???) that you can screw up if you're not careful.

If that's not the case, I assume I can just jack it up, remove the wheel, remove calipers, install new calipers, bleed brake lines and off I go?

Also, does the nismo body kit make it harder to jack up?

removing them is very easy. One 10mm fitting on the fluid line and 2 22mm bolts that hold the front calipers on. On the rears its the 10mm fitting, 19mm mounting bolts and 12mm bolts that hold the fluid line bracket in place.

On the rears, with the suspension arms on, it will be easier to remove them if you have a 19mm gear wrench, over a standard socket, as there isn't much room with the suspension drooped when the car is on jackstands.

The ABS sensor is in the hub, not the caliper so thats not a worry.

Ok the sensor was my only concern. I should be fine then.

If you need help, give me a yell. I've done it a few times now.

:iagree: Even taught me how to do mine, even though I have the base brakes. That was an interesting experience for the both of us :icon17:

PM'ed

I did mine recently, not bad with the right tools. I'd be down to drive up and hang out, can bring all the tools/jack you need. Will be out of town until the 5th.
