Left and right side are the same.
As mentioned on the summary page, I remove both calipers. This isn't necesssary according to the book, but it gives me more play when pulling out the wheel.
There are two bolts that hold the brake caliper in place.

Front wheel assembly, brake cover removed. Remove these two allen bolts.


The large allen bolt. The small allen bolt goes into the anti-dive lever.


On the right side, I used a screw driver between the caliper
and the fork tube to protect the anti-dive.
Another view of the small allen bolt connection to the anti-dive.


The bolts removed. Pulling the caliper free.


You may have to persuade the caliper to come free.
