Removing Rear calipers...need some help please
First off i have the service manual and i have checked the old posts but i still need some help. I want to paint my rear calipers, so i decided to take them off the car. I do not mind bleeding the brake system as i am replacing the front calipers and will have to do this anyway. Service manual says i have to disable the E-brake auto adjuster before i take the caliper off the car. Is this necessary?? anyone have any step by step instructions for taking off the caliper.
The caliper is connected to the caliper brakcket by 2 17mm?? bolts. I have removed these. I just need to remove the brake lines but i do not want to screw anything up. Just remove the spring and 2 more bolts??? Is it that simple??
thanks for the help.

I think you're ok so long as you don't disassemble the rear caliper. However, can you just clean, mask and paint the caliper with the cable connected.
