06 M7 brake housing bushings

[bgs8379]

I want to check the bushings in the brake caliper housing. I took out the long 5/8 bolt , got the big nut off , took the bolts off inside the tunnel . The caliper doesnt want to slide out. I didnt take the caliper apart, the rotor is loose on the shaft. Can anybody please help me out ?

It just needs a little persuasion. Get the track off first so the drivers aren't hanging up on that, and then "tap" it a bit. I've got mine apart now, need to get it back together while I still remember how...

Mine felt ok, but when I drove out the bearings, they shook water out of them...how can they live long like that? They must be good stuff, but I'll replace for peace of mind. That spring clip is between the bearings, BTW, so you must first drive out one, by reaching past the other with a punch, and then remove the clip to get the second.
