They should come of quite easily but I have seen them difficult to get off on other makes of cars.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken mine off about 4 times in the last month, put new rotors and pads in the back and the passenger side break sequels when it gets hot and stop as soon as brake is applied.
