pads won't fall out, piston shouldn't move either. If you are replacing pads, then you have to move piston to get the caliper back on, because of the increased space with the new pads.
so if I take the caliper off with just that one bolt, nothing will fall apart right? But will that really make the job easier? I mean, will I be able to set the caliper on the ground and move it any way I want or will it still be connected to the car and thus, confined to the wheel well area?
