How to Remove the Parking Brake from Brake Calipers

Hi! I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. This is cool how this works. A lot of cars with disk rear brakes, like the Corvette, it has little tiny interior drum-style brakes for the parking brake; but this style is like a Subaru where you've got this arm here and when you pull on the parking break it rotates this arm up a little bit and forces the piston out against the brake shoe and acts as a parking brake. So it's a lighter, more compact easier to install unit. Now Mark is going to be taking the parking brake bracket and spring off there so that we don't get paint on those.
