remove the rim/tire
2 bolts on the back side of the caliper - (10mm)
get the caliper off and hang with a wire or zip tie.
Remove the rotor and have them checked for true, and wear
press the caliper back in with a c clamp
then replace the pads
put the caliper back on
press the pedal to bring it back to the caliper
