    I am trying to figure out how to remove the parking brake caliper. I see that there are (2) allen head bolts that attach to the upright on the back side. (1) of the allen head bolts is very tight up against the suspension arm and I am not sure how to get to it.

    Please advise.

    You need to loosen up the suspension link that looks like a tie rod end. This will allow the clearance required

    There is a great write-up with photos by Curt, vrsurgeon. This can be found under the Technical Q&A . It is listed as "replacing rear rotors on a 360" Photos showing what he did. Part of the procedure includes removing the parking brake caliper,lots of good info there. Hope it helps...

    Remove the Toe link from the chassis, 2 allen bolts and a 13mm bolt, once removed, the wheel hub swings free. Then remove the 2 allen bolts supporting the caliper to the mounting bracket.

    If replacing the tiny useless pads, remember to rotate the piston clockwise with a set of long pliers, so the piston goes in, due to the new brake pads are thicker.

    Use the proper torque, not over-torque any of the 5 bolts.
