I need to change the brake pads on my 2000 Dakota PU. I've got the wheel off, but can't figure out how to remove the calipers in order to get the pads off. Do you need any special tools? Do you need to unbolt the stainless steel pins on the inside of the caliper body, and if so, which way are they threaded? I've done this on older vehicles in the past but they used to simply pop off without major disassembly. Amd I missing something here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide to an amatuer mechanic!
