    :?So I am still working on my project CJ5, I picked up Dana 30 axle with disc brakes to swap out for my 27. How in the world do I get the calipers off? I have the Locking Hub off, but I dont see how the calipers are held on. I feel like I am losing my mind, any help? the only thing I have found is a allen head screw on top that I have removed but that didnt seem to do anything. There are are no bolts or places that look like a bolt would go on the back side. They say Bendix on the back of the calipers if that helps.

    with the allen/hex bolt removed at the top, there is a wedge assy (rubber and steel) that drives in/out to hold the caliper. Drive that wedge out, the top will pull out and then left and remove from the bottom.

    Worked like a charm! Now, how do the rotors come off? A puller?

    Rotors come off with the hub. Then you press them apart.
