Let’s see, to simplify the steps, since I will obviously have to do rear brakes on this car every 20 to 40 k miles. Parking brake cable remains attached. Two different sized bolts involved. The 15mm are holding the caliper bracket (only comes off for rotor removal). Bust two of those loose, and leave them, then work the two 13mm bolts. These screw into the back of the caliper mounting pin. When re-attaching the 13mm bolt, there is some aligning to do, flat portion of the caliper pin has to be horizontal to guide this back in. Take note when removing. Emery cloth worked great to smooth the edge so the caliper would slide off the rotor. The caliper can come apart, and be placed to the side, so the 13mm bolts are the first ones to remove completely. When they are off, separate the caliper from the rest of the bracket to gain access to the threaded piston. To replace the rotor, the bracket has to come off as well.
A handy tip is, after turning the caliper piston by hand with the special tool, run it in with your drill. Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Stop at proper orientation or run back to grab the post on the brake pads. Also, I’ll need a real T-40 torx bit and new screws if going to use, what some say is optional, rotor hold down screw. Going back together was straighforward except for the two tips mentioned above. Three hour job including a trip to the hardware store once it was determined that metric sockets do not have clearance for the removal steps.
