Brake Caliper Component Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Suspend the brake caliper component using a cable.
Temporarily tighten the wheel nut to prevent the disc plate from falling off.
