Hi everyone,

PO had a brake job done way back. When they put the caliper back on, the brake hose was twisted. So I want to untwist it.

I take the caliper bolts out, and try to pull the caliper off. It wont come off. I inspect the rotor and see a large lip that has been worn into the outside edge that is blocking me from taking the caliper out.

My questions:
1.) Is the lip supposed to be there?
2.) Any ideas how to get the caliper off over this lip thing?

Figure 1 - the twisted brake hose
Figure 2 - the lip. My finger is pushing on it. Id guess its about .080" (2mm) tall.


Thanks so much,
dd44
