What happens here
After the caliper is secured out of the way and pads removed, locate the larger bolts securing the caliper bracket (the housing that holds the caliper in place) to the spindle. Use a socket wrench with the appropriate socket to loosen and remove these bolts to fully detach the caliper bracket. With the caliper bracket removed, the old brake rotor can be pulled directly off the wheel hub.
Goal: Disassemble the caliper bracket and remove the old rotor.
