biggrizzly | Removing rear rotors on late C4 | ||

I have not done the rear brakes myself before and I know one time before I had an issue with the emergency brakes. On the late C4 1992-1996 what are the tricks to remvong the rotors?
According to the FSM, the E-Brake Adjuster has to be disabled at the handbrake... What a PITA. Is there an easier way to take tension off the e-brake cable without remvoing the seat and handbrake cover? What else is required. |

Don,
I don't remove the ebrake cable. I remove the caliper pins/bolts, then the caliper (in one piece)then the braket bolts to remove the rotor....hope this helps Mick |

I don't mess with the e-brake either. It has been a few years but I remember just two bolts and sliding the caliber off.

I didn't have to do anything with the e-brake... besides making sure it was in the off position.

OK.. Well, so much for reading the FSM
Thanks... if I get time tonight I'll go pull one of the rears and see. I have just been arm chair planning; you know how that is... once I really see what I'm working with it will come into focus. Cheers |

If you have to just grab the ebrake cable at the caliper with pliers, pull and twist. It comes right off. Reminds me that I really should take the rest of the e-brake stuff off (cables, lever, etc) before I head to CMP in April.
