Two bolts hold the caliper to the nuckle, a screw or two hold the rotor to the hub. Nothing surprising or hidden if you're comfortable with wrench-work. If you need details, I'm sure someone here can give you more. But, if you're comfortable in that sort of area, these brakes are much more easy to work on than many. Dave Hinz
