Haynes manuals are good for general stuff but they dont make one that covers the vr6 engine. so it would include bodywork, brakes, interior, suspension but not engine.

If you know how to jack a car up and remove a wheel then removing the calipers are easy. done it many times and im only a DIYer.

Best tools for the job are

Stiff wire brush

Can of brake cleaner

Hammerite or brake paint.

I used to have one years ago for my nova, And it was brill. covered everything torque settings etc.

But haynes just dont do a manual for the vr6. However theres a company called robert bentley and they make a vr6 manual. Im getting one for christmas of misses. It arrived but she has hidden it so i dont know if its any good or not. it wants to be good the price of it.

If ur taking the caliper off a impact driver would b handy as taking the bolts off is a nightmare!
