DBOB Posted July 29, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2011 Hi; I am putting a new rear tire on my 86VR. I have the repair manual and am following its' directions. I removed the 2 bolts from the caliper mount and am unable to remove the caliper. It rotates freely on the rotor when I spin the wheel but it will not lift off. Have I missed something? As ussual I apreciate any and all help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrood Posted July 29, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) As the disc wears it will develop a lip on the outer edge where the brake pads don't engage and this is probably hanging your caliper, collapse the pads with a pry and it should slide right off.

Snaggletooth Posted July 30, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 30, 2011 Crack the bleeder open a bit as you try to pry the pads back. It helps prevent any gunge from being forced back into the master also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
