hey guys, I need to replace my rear passenger side brake caliper. I looked in the how-to section and can't find anything on how to go about doing that. Also, my haynes manual got trashed due to a spillage in my trunk. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find instructions on how to replace it? Thanks.

It is pretty easy to replace them, there is only 2 bolts and the hose. Be sure to turn in the piston on the caliper to get it back on over the pads. Like I said, you will need to turn clockwise to get the piston in.

Turn what in? the replacement caliper already has the piston in. I am under the impression that it is just a matter of removing the hose and the caliper, replace the shoes, and mount the new ones + bleed the brakes, is there anything I am missing?

Unclip e-brake.
Unbolt caliper/
Remove caliper & e-brake cable at same time, leave brake hose connected.
Put new caliper & e-brake on (Some times you have to swap stuff, do it now.)
Swap hose from old caliper to new, bleed, reinstall wheel.

So I can replace the caliper without dealing with the brake shoes or pad retainers?

Thanks, wish me luck.

Got the job done, runs like a dream again and best of all no brake fluid leak

Couldn't have done it without you guys.

This site has saved my a$$ once again!

Some rebuilds may not be completely turned....only suggesting that if it is hard to get over the pads again.
