08 caliper spacer removal

[Sincere876]

How do I go about removing the spacers so I can mount the brembo calipers?

last time i serviced the brakes i removed them with the factory bolt. put it in without threading it and wigged it a little and they came out. they arent pressed it so it should take to much force. are yours seized on?

I wrapped the part sticking out in tape and used pliers to pull them out

I haven’t tried it with the bolt but I will right now. Thanks so much

Ive tried that and I still can’t get them out lol. I’ll try again with some vice grips. That should do the job

Ok, any other suggestions. I’ve tried pliers, a small vice grip, and the bolt No Joy.

Time to butcher them and just get some strong vice grips and bite metal to metal

After some house, I finally got the spacers off and the calipers mounted

I caught that yesterday when I took the picture. After the amount of time it took to get the spacer out I was just happen to get them mounted and fitted for the lines

Apply some heat? I would start with a heat gun rather than a torch.

I got them out finally. Now the process of bleeding the brakes. If anyone has a fool proof way, let me know.

I use a vacuum bleeder.

There's thread after thread in the search feature on bleeding brakes.....type in "bleeding brakes" and stand back...

There's a lot of them. Which one you want depends on whether or not you have an air compressor. Just hit Amazon and search vacuum brake bleeder.

I use a spare rotor, hold it higher than the master and bleed it off the bike, no machine needed

Got the brakes all squared away. Had my brother do a quick test run. One question the clicking noise at the end when he stops, is that a normal sound? Not to many Busa’s around for me to listen to.
