    It is very easy to do, but a little hard to explain with only words. Here's a link to download the 6th gen service manual, an invaluable tool in working on these here girls I've found.

    Let us know if you need any more help/guidance. Oh, I'll just answer this one right now though, EBC HH sintered, the best, just do it!! :welcome:

    Take the wheel off, then look for the bolts holding the caliper on and loosen them.
    You may be able to remove the caliper without removing the wheel...I am not sure I always remove the wheel as it gives a lot more room to inspect things
