You can pick up that part at your local auto parts store.

Question

So, you can pull just the caliper off without having to take off the entire caliper/rotor assembly?

I was under the impression that the caliper would not come off without pulling a few other BIG bolts out as well...

So it's basically like the "old school" ford disc brakes where you just remove both hex bolts and the caliper can be removed...

Please advise, thanx!!
