Removing Disc Brake

[Champ2005]

Can someone help me understand how to remove this brake? I can't find a bolt and I have never done this before. I just need to remove it to get the hub off, then put the brake back on. Thank you.

Should have two bolts on the back side and release the anti rattle wire. May have to move the piston back a touch but don't pry on the piston but your rotors don't look like they have a raised edge so maybe not.

Man, I looked for bolts but didn't see them. I've never done this before so I dont even know where the piston is or what it looks like, let alone trying to move it. Thank you for your help.

2 fasteners on back side may have allen socket heads

there can be a round plastic plug that pulls out and there is a bolt underneath

OK, I found the hex head bolts on the back (2). They won't budge..lol. So, if I get these two out then the brake should release yes? I did find a plug, so do I have to remove that bolt too? Thank you for your help everyone.

Edit: Part of the problem is the axle is so close to the lower bolt my ratchet wont fit, so I had to get a movable knuckle and now it seems I can't get enough torque on it to move it.

Also you need to remove the outer anti rattle clip to remove it the silver piece in your photo

Thanks Butch. I did try a breaker bar and no movement.

If you fully backed out the caliper bolts.

Take a screw driver from the inside of the housing and push the bolt deeper into the caliper. Often there is enough thread to just catch the bracket.

Use the same screwdriver to pry outward on the anti rattle clip. This clip engages into two holes in the caliper body.

The caliper is a KIA Sedona auto application, with age they tend to see frozen caliper pistons.

A pry bar can be used if frozen by working it back and forth on the caliper on the leading and trailing edge. Essentially walking it off the rotor in incremental steps.

Automotive cross on the pads is 96-2000 KIA SEPHIA Front brake.. Never heard of a Sedona as a caliper cross or any other.
