They could simply, just be really hard to move it sounds like you have everything off to me, I've changed my own everytime. Try a little WD-40 to loosen it up. Golf 1999, my rear calipers needed to be turnt in not pushed in if that makes sense. you need to twist them in with some big grips. not sure what way. they were tight. needed to loosten fluid cap too to help.
Each of the calipers is held in place by two bolts. Remove the bolts and then the caliper. If necessary you may need to retract the caliper piston using a screwdriver or large C-clamp.
jack up vehicle. remove wheel remve caliper bolts from rear of caliper slide caliper off rotor remove old pads push piston back into caliper with a c clamp insert new pads reinstall calipers and bolts replace wheels
there should be four bolts on the back of the calipers two of them should hold the pads and the other should hold the caliper remove the pad holder first and then the caliper.
Hey Nina==Take off the wheel then remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper on. Then pry on the caliper to compress the piston and remove the caliper. Hang the caliper with a coat hanger or wire and don't let it hang by the hose. Goodluck Joe
Use a screwdriver to lever piston back (between caliper and front of piston). remove caliper, usually two bolts, remove pads from caliper, fit new ones same way. re-fit caliper.
Remove the wheel, locate the Caliper. On the inner side there are 2 bolts going through the caliper, remove those (before removing use a flat head screwdriver to compress the caliper some) remove caliper. If you are removing the rotors remove the 2 large bolts on the caliper bracket.
Remove wheel, remove the two bolts in the calipers, pull up calipers, remove pads compress caliper piston with a c-clamp, be sure to have the brake fluid cap off the reservoir under the hood. - replace pads and reverse the order.
Most vehicles Remove wheels Re-install 2 lug nuts to hold rotor in place Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor
Remove wheels Remove caliper mounting bolts(2) Slide caliper off rotor Support with hanger (Do not let hang by flexible brake lines)
remove th front wheel, undo the 2 bolts on calipers and bushings,thenlift calipers off. HINT: if calipers seem to stick then get a large flat bladed screwdriver and wedge it between rotor and caliper and apply just enough force to back off pistons in calipers to remove them then they will slide off.
Remove wheel, remove the two bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket, use a C-clamp to compress the piston back into the back caliper and then remove from the rotor.
Remove wheels Re-inatall 2 lug nuts to hold rotor in place Remove 2 caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor
