changing rear brake calliper

[_WILL_]

I'm having to change my rear drivers side calliper on my 172 cup.

Have just ordered a second hand one from http://www.cliospares.co.uk/, they were very helpful and a very reasonable price imo.

I have had a search and can't find a guide for it so any advice would be great, or a link to a guide i haven't found.

I know how to do most of it but i was just wondering what the situation is with the handbrake and how it attaches to the calliper?

Do i need to take the disc off to remove the calliper? If not then I won't have to go and get a 30mm socket (or whatever it is to take the disc off)

Are there any parts I need to keep from the old calliper or be careful with when removing?

Any help or tips would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Will

Think its just four bolts, plus your brake line and the handbrake clip.

You should be able to do it with the disc on IIRC and handbrake cable just needs a bit of man power to get off or a screwdriver to flick it out!

Cool, it doesn't sound to difficult then. I was worried there would be more to take apart and reassemble.

Two bolts to get a pad carrier off, then two to get the caliper off
