Rear Disk Caliper Removal
I am in the middle of a read end swap of a LSD for my S model.
I need to have the calipers pulled so that I can have some of the rust knocked of and to make sure they are not wraped.
I have everything else removed but I can't get the disk to come off.
Am I missing a bolt somewhere, do I need some sort of drum/Disk remover? Are is it just rusted completely together
Let me know
Thanks..

If I remember correctly, the disc is attached to the wheel hub with a screw or two. It's probably in there good, so an impact screwdriver would do you some good.
Other than that, it's probably rusted together as well. I had a good time figuring out why my wheel stayed on there aftertaking out all four lug bolts and several good hard tire kicks. It was up in the air too. I'm suprised it didn't fall off the jackstands. I eventually had to get a 4x4 piece of lumber and put it under the rear, up against the tire and hammer it off with a sledge from the other side.
Now, I give the inside of any wheel I take off a good coat of WD-40 where it touches the hub or brake rotor under it.
