I am in the midst of replacing my brake pads with some Ferrodos. I know how to get the brake calipers off and the rotors and everything and I am guessing that the only way to get these pads out of the calipers is to spilt the brembos in half with the 2 allen bolts that hold them together... My main concern is that I do not want to ruin the paint on the Brembos and I really don't want it to look like they were ever taken apart. I am guessing that when I take the bolts out that hold the calipers together that it is going to atleast crack the powder coating on them (god knows why they powdercoated the bolts as well!?) and I just don't want the car to look ghetto cause seriously I am so **** I will take these brakes apart with towels and everything if it spares them from being scratched. My question is, is this how I have to get the calipers apart to get the new pads in?

no no no, DON'T DO THAT, there are 2 pins take the wheel off and look at the caliper, it has 2 pins that you punch out, there are picks of it on here, it takes 30 seconds to do. All you need is a hammer and a bit to push it through, use the search I posted on this before.

yes as he said its very simple, PLEASE don't take apart your calipers.

ahh then what are those 2 bolts that hold the caliper together for? I read the post that talks about how to do it and now I got it all done easily! These are seriously some easy brakes to change!

Oh ya, they rock super easy. When I read about you splitting I was like **** don't do that lol.
