The rotor has a hole in it large enough to stick a flathead screwdriver through. This is different from the two bolt holes which you can use to push the rotor off of the hub. The hole in the rotor sho...

Rear suspension knock. - 6G Celicas Forums

To get the caliper off the bracket, you simply remove the one visible bolt, then slide the caliper off the bracket. However, this can only be done after the caliper and bracket have been removed from ...
