Anyone got a guide to removing rear calipers on a 197?

Planning to remove the rear calipers this weekend to spray

Anyone got a guide? Never touched brakes before!

:banghead:

easy enough, you got E torx sockets? (star shaped female sockets E14 off the top of my head)

are you taking them FULLY off, or leaving them on the car? (ie to avoid bleeding the brakes)

Hey dude, I'd like to paint them so I'm guessing fully off?? Could you provide me with a rough guide on how to do so please? It'd be much appreciated

You'd be better removing the pads and painting them on the car if you're a first timer, bleeding the brakes again is an arse

Thanks mate, I hate to sound cheeky but you couldn't do me a guide could you?

13mm spanner and a 15mm spanner (i think, maybe 17mm)

lower caliper bolt off, lift caliper remove pads, done
