Hey guys,
I was trying to replace all my brakes on the 2003 Marauder and I am having problems removing the rear calipers. I was wondering if any of you guys did this yourself and if you could tell me how the rear calipers come off. I appreciate all the input I can get.

They are held in with 2 bolts from the backside and they clip in place from the front.
You will probably need to compress the piston before the pads will clear the lip of the rotor.

There is a VERY good chance you are going to need to BEAT the rear rotors off..... with a LARGE HAMMER!

SERIOUSLY!!!!

I took out two bolts from the back of the rotor, they were about 3 inches black, but the caliper would not budge at all. Any ideas?

There are a total of 4 bolts that hold the Caliper / Caliber Bracket thingie. I think they are 10mm and 14mm Bolts. Remove all 4. Then pry the Caliper off.

I had to do what Killjoy said with my other MM when I did the brakes. I was hoping to just get the rotors turned but I had to bang them pretty damn hard to get them off.
