    A Chilton service manual has the procedure as well as many more handy items.

    I have looked for one but I am not sure which would fit the Maverick Comet best as it is not listed on any, I know it has a similar base to the 60's mustang though, should that one do?

    Thanks

    Hi gusy, I just started and already running into an issue, the link you gave me to follow http://1bad6t.com/Maverick/repair/brake_system_04b.html
    mentions a 3/4 and a 5/8 bolt holding the caliper on the anchor plates and I dont see either...
    Am I blind? Dumb? On the wrong car? hahaha
    How do I get away from the calipers to get the rotor out?
    Thanks!
