Replying to: pbrower (Jul 04, 2009 4:15 pm) I thought I put a link in the previous post: link title Bypassing VATS. The two thin wires go into a single larger tube that looks like a wire itself as they leave the connector at the base of the steering column.

Replying to: ar1458 (Jul 08, 2009 8:17 am) if you can't find an answer online, take the wheel off and look at the caliper. It will either have one piston or two...pushing the brake pad out from the caliper. It's a two minute inspection.

Replying to: kiawah (Jul 08, 2009 8:46 am) thanks I will look...also when I take off the rear brake caliper should the rotor come right off with a slight tap of a hammer ????

Replying to: ar1458 (Jul 08, 2009 11:29 am) Yes with a large rubber mallet. Be SURE to support the caliper with wire BEFORE you disconnect it. Don't let it just hang there.

Replying to: ar1458 (Jul 08, 2009 4:11 pm) I use stiff wire, hook one end to a coil on the coil spring, the other end through one of the mounting bores on the caliper. A cut wire coat hanger works well.
