Now you want to remove the calipers. Remove the 2 mounting bolts, you'll need a breaker bar or hammer. Once removed, the caliper is only held by the brake lines. Be sure not to yank on or kink your brake lines. That's a sure way of asking for trouble. You can see on these what they mean when they say XP8s have elevated levels of dust. You can also see the dust boot is torn with brake dust caked everywhere. I used a screwdriver to scrape of the majority of crud and then used this wheel cleaner and a tooth brush to clean up the area.

More to come...
