caliper removal

[PunkRockLS]

need to replace my front drivers bearing and hub assembly. Can anyone tell me how to properly remove the caliper? Thanks

remove caliper from carrier (2 bolts on the back of the caliper.)
hang up the caliper so you don't break the brake line.
remove 2 carrier bolts (the thing that supported the caliper)

then it's just the four bolts for the bearing and hub. bash it out if its stuck since your replacing it (don't hit the back if you need to reinstall it)
make sure you clean up any corrosion around the hole for the bearing, and put some anti sieze around it when you put it back in.

Do I need to use a certain torque on the bolts for reinstallation?

Yes the proper torque or tight enough will work. lol
