So I've changed the pads and rotors before on a couple cars now and it wasnt a big deal but I've never dealt with calipers.

Once everything comes in the mail I am going to be putting 6th gen front rotors/calipers, SS brake lines, Hawk HPS pads and high performance brake fluid.

To be honest I searched the site to try and find some info on installing these parts but I couldent find anything on it. All the write ups were about changing the pads and rotors, which is really easy and something I can do already. What I need to know is how do I get rid of the old lines and front calipers. I meen is it as simple as disconnecting the rubber lines and letting the brake fluid run out or do I have to drain it in a certain manner? Then after draining the stock brake fluid I dont think it will be that hard to install the ss lines calipers, pads and rotors. What I am confused about is then how do I get the fluid back into the lines and get all the air out of the lines?

So basically my question is how do I dissasemble my current braking system and drain the fluid and then after the new parts are installed how do I get the high performance fluid into the system and air out of the lines?

Thanks

 

it would be like bleeding the break... take off all the lines and let them drain and then pump the brake til all the fluid is out ... then reassemble and bleed the brakes with the new fluid

 

I just did this job on my car SS lines and 6th gen calipers. I fitted the new calipers and everything in place before disconnecting the original rubber to metal line connection. Word to the wise, soak down those unions ( metal line to rubber) with some good penetrating oil first, the day before if possible. The less fluid you lose while disconnected the better. It will make the bleeding proccess much easier. I just used my vaccum bleeder and only used like one and a half of the small sized bottles of brake fuid to draw through all clean fluid. Get help from someone with experience bleeding brakes if you are not comfortable doing so though. Good luck and enjoy your new setup it is an awesome improvement!

 

It's actually really easy. If you are by yourself, you need to buy a vacuum bleeder, if you have a friend to help, fill your fluid reservoir, start the car, have your friend hold the brake pedal to the floor, you then open the bleeder valve and fluid squirts out. now close the bleeder valve and then your friend can take his foot off the brake. pump the brakes, make sure the reservoir is full and repeat process until you see clean fluid.
