removing front wheel

[93kat750]

Wow am i flustered! I am going to send in the rims for black powdercoat and tonight i went to remove the front wheel and all was fine until the brake pad catches. What kind of person creates a caliper that get stuck with the pads on the rotor and the bleeder on the rim. please help me and someone smack me if i am retarded in this case.

thanks

p.s. do the bearings need to come out of the wheels for powdercoat?

Take the caliper and pads off before trying to remove the wheel.

And yes they do to part two.

but in order to take the caliper off do the pads have to come off? thats what i meant, seems like a dumb set up to me but if thats whats needed then awesome!

Here is how:

Un-bolt the caliper.
Gently twist it to spead the pads.
It should now wiggle out.
It is a bit tight what with the bleeder and all
Just take it slow and it will become clear..
