I tried the above, still grip too tight, or I thought, so I took a medium straight screwdriver and gently pushed on the black wedge, it came out.
Then I thought "cool, will be driving this tonight!"
but ..... the mounting plate is not correct for my front axle spindle, as can be seen on the picture markup.
I need a 1 5/8" pitch , the replace part mounting plate is 1 1/16", there was no choice on their website to check or spec that dimension, which causes not to mount as the brake rotor interferes.
I'd rather NOT take the caliper apart to swap the old one in ... will call the part supply company I ordered them from and discuss tomorrow my return / swap options with them.
Almost there, since were going snow skiing over MLK weekend I'll try and get the fix parts so we can then finish the job weekend of 1/25.
