if you are talking about a C5 then all you need to do for the front is to remove the upper caliper bolt which requires 2 open end wrenches. I think they are 15 & 18mm. The caliper pivots backwards on the bottom bolt and the pads pop out to the sides. taking off wheels and jacking takes way more time than the actual brake work. Rear calipers have to be completely removed because they don't rock back far enough. Also they need different wrench sizes and some cars have a mix of metric and SAE bolts...go figure.Thanks very much Pete.

When you push the pistons back in the calipers will this not harm the ABS System? When pushing the fluid back thru the system it goes thru the ABS in the wrong direction, or is this not a problem with the Corvette?
