Hi, could some kind expert please point me to where I can find an FAQ on replacing brake calipers? I looked in the stickies but couldn't find anything. The one big question I have is how to detach and reattach the brake hose from the caliper. I also wanted to know how to readjust the parking brake cable and if it's necessary. Thanks!

Oh yeah, and should I do both rear calipers at the same time? Thanks!

No need to readjust the parking brake. When you swap in the new caliper, top off the brake reservoir and put the cap on. Also do the swap quickly so the fuild in the brake reservoir does not run dry.

sometime new calipers dont come with new copper washers. if not reuse the old ones. just dont forget them.

There are lil rubber plugs that you can buy made specifically for pluggin up the brake-line while workin. I always thought they were cheezy.
