Brake callipers

[Dear Ducato]

How does one remove the callipers from a 1994 Ducato without undoing the flexi pipes from from the metal ones, so that I can clamp them to stop fluid leaking? I took them off to remove the engine and subframe complete, but only tied them out of the way. I now need to take them off completely to drill out the broken bleed nipples!

Do they not just unscrew from the calliper?

I drilled mine out in situ on the hub when I snapped a nipple.

If you can’t do them in situ I would put a bag over the reservoir and screw the cap back on.

This will create a vacuum and stop some loss of fluid.
I would be very careful clamping off older flexi pipes.
They are prone to damage.

You’ll have to bleed caliper anyway
