Default Front brake caliper bushing replacment

I noticed my calipers have a little wobble/play in them. After 114k miles and 11 years I bet the bushings are worn. My FSM doesn't talk about replacing them, but I can get new bushings and new bolts. Can someone tell me how to remove the old bushings and install the new?

Thanks,
Dave

Calipers are very cheap. It easier to just replace them and bleed the brake system. If you still want to replace the bushings yourself, take a pair of pliers and pull the center bolt out then you can use a small socket to drive the bushing out. Good luck!

Thanks for that. I didn't look up caliper prices. I found new calipers for $20-$30 after core vs. $12 for new bolts and bushings. Replacing the whole caliper is easy; I hate pressing things out/in.
