Removing a brake caliper is a crucial step when performing brake repairs or replacements. A brake caliper is a mechanical component that houses the brake pads and pistons, and it plays a vital role in the braking system of a vehicle.
There are several reasons why removing a brake caliper may be necessary. Worn-out brake pads need to be replaced periodically to ensure optimal braking performance, and removing the caliper is essential for accessing and replacing the pads. Additionally, calipers can sometimes malfunction or seize, requiring removal for inspection, repair, or replacement.
