Planning on replacing my rear brake pads and rotors this weekend. Does anyone have a nice link or detailed instructions on how to get the rear caliper off of the vehicle to access the pads and the rotor? My car has the non-sport brakes. Thank you!

Maybe this helps?

Install front and rear break pads

Thanks Brian but this does not show me how to get the caliper totally off so that I can replace the rotors. Is there another set of instructions on the forum that explain the removal of the entire caliper?

I have the sport brakes, but the process should be the same. There are only 2 bolts holding on the caliper. They're pretty obvious on the sport brakes, the only 2 bolts attaching the bracket part of the caliper. Remove these and support the caliper by hanging it with a wire or string so that the brake lines aren't pulled. There is no need to remove the brake line from the caliper or to take it apart to replace the rotors or pads.
