SRAM Apex Front Calliper Removal

[Dzzi]

Hello

Spent some considerable time removing the centre fixing bolt, i've had the bike since 2011 i don't think its ever been off before and it took quite a bit of shifting !.

Just to check it should just come out now right ?

I was expecting the calliper to basically fall out but it's reallystuck fast, i've even popped the wheel back on and gone for a quick stop start spin up and down the road using the front brake in an attempt to free it up.

First time i've done this so any tips or hints more than welcome.

Thanks

Dave

its ok victory is mine....lemon juice and basically some brute force twisting of the calliper has done the trick...

There is usually a grub screw holding it place so it doesn't move - unless you apply lemon juice and brute force
