Whats the trick removing rear caliper
Whats the trick for removing the rear calipers on an SC. What do you use to get on the caliper bolts. Theres not much room to work. I'm thinking about grinding down a socket to give me more room.
Any suggestions? Jeff

Ditto, IIRC, an offset wrench makes it even easier.... Also, do yourself a favor and get some mechanics gloves, nothing like slicing your hand on the dust shield when your hand slips

Six-point 19 mm or 3/4" socket on a medium flex-handle [breaker bar] ... or a combination wrench with a permanently mounted flex socket on one end.

That's timing.
I just reinstalled my rear calipers after my brake upgrade. The bottom caliper bolt is a pain. I just used a small ratchet and short 19mm socket. The hard brake line was more of a challenge to tighten up after the caliper was mounted.
