Wanting to paint splash guards when i do the calipers!
Was hoping they came off easy but heard Disc has to come off also heard hub needs taking off. Don't really fancy doing all that just to paint. Anyone know which is the best option (May just clean up or paint what i can in situ) ?

You can paint in situ but the disk and caliper need to come off. Easy job though

If the calipers are coming off then may as well do it right and paint the calipers away from the car

The hub came off easy when we replace the wheel bearing/hub assembly Paul. Then 3 10mm bolts hold the back plate.
