Rear brake disc replacement

[Celicatom]

Hi guys I've got a 2001 mk7 celica and im changing the rear discs and pads and im having some trouble getting it all apart could someone help me please? I've removed the two bolts that sit next to the slider bolts already but can't get anything off

Can I assume the handbrake is off!

Looking at the photos and diagrams - http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/eu/2001/celica/zzt231l-blfvfa/3_252480_003_/powertrain-chassis/4707_rear-disc-brake-caliper-dust-cover 

First remove the metal springs, two on the pads and then one which retains the pins. Then from the inside of the hub, tap out the pins which will release the pads.

I am not sure how the piston is pushed back to fit new pads and discs. If the handbrake operates via the calliper, then a compress tool will be needed. A clue will be notches in the calliper piston. Another issue is the if a tool is needed, and a left and right handed version is needed? You will know once you have removed the brake pads.

Hi tom, well firstly you need to refit the slider bolts then remove the clips, pins and brake pads. Next you need to make sure the caliper pistons are fully retracted, then remove the slider bolts, disc etc.

Hope this helps.
