The bolts will pull all the way out, but you don't need to if they don't need cleaned and lubed(anti-seize). Lock tite isn't required. Usually they say to torg them to a specific amount, but I've always just tightened mine down by feel.

Caliper pistons should retract if calipers are in working order. Calipers need to be removed and rebuilt or replaced. A brake fluid flush is highly recommended.
How do you remove calipers on 2005 Ford F-150?
I assume you are replacing brake pads? To remove the calipers you need to loosen the bleed valves on the top or back of the caliper (they look like a bolt with a hole in them and usually have a rubber cap). Next you compress the caliper with a C clamp and then tighten the bleed valve. Now remove the two bolts from the back (inside) of the caliper and it should fall off in your hand.

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
If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading?
If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading? 5.565 - 0.025 = 5.54 so caliper reads 5.54 cm If the zero reading on the vernier calipers is -0.025 cm with the reading still 5.565cm, it is 5.565 - (-0.025) = 5.565 + 0.025 = 5.59 cm

Will a mountain bike stock with 160mm rotors be able to take 206mm calipers and roters. The bike now had 160mm but im thinking of buying a set of 206mm but I'm not sure?
if you switch both the caliper and the disc then you should be able to as long as they are compatible with one another. make sure that the caliper mounts on both your frame and fork will fit the new calipers. some mounts may need shims to fit a larger caliper size. hope this helps.

How do you change the brake calipers on a 1994 Saturn SC1?
Put the front of the vehicle on jack stands and remove both front wheels. Disconnect the hydraulic brake line from the caliper. Using an appropriate sized allen wrench, remove the two bolts that hold the calipers to the axle assembly. The bolts are at the top and bottom, and can be accessed from the side of the caliper that is closest to the engine. Once the bolts are off, the caliper should slide off, but it's a tight fit, so you may need to work with it a little. You need a 10mm socket for the caliper bolts. Not a allen wrench
