I am trying to remove the front caliper bracket so I can remove the front wheel. I removed the 2 mounting bolts, but on the backside of the top mounting bolt there is a backpiece (sleeve) that I can't remove which holding the bracket to the forks. Without removing the bracket there is not enough clearance to get the wheel off.
How do i remove the sleeve behind the top mounting bolt to get the bracket off ?

Re: Front caliper bracket removal,
Part #-14 (sleeve, fr. caliper bracket) is what I had a difficult time removing. I wasn't sure if it had threads and didn't want to damage threads by forcefully removing it. Turns out the part didn't have threads so everything came out fine with a rubber mallet and a bit of force.
