Removing calipers from one piece brakes

Hey everyone,

I am about to begin work on Tamiya's Enzo with the Crazy Modeler P/E set and I ran into a snag...how do I remove the molded brake caliper from the one piece break disc/hub part. Plus, how do you drill out the groove where the P/E break fits in between the caliper itself? I have power tools, but I do not want to experiment on this kit (I want this one to be perfect!). I did try to use a P/E saw on an old Tamiya DTM kit and made a mess of it! I have seen many people replace the kit brakes and calipers with aftermarket P/E, but no one makes mention of how they actually do it.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Stuart
