Uninstalling Calipers

DragonXero13 · 08-25-2007, 06:25 PM

To uninstall calipers, all you have to do is remove the brake line and two caliper bolts?

Please correct me if I'm wrong ..

Yep, that would do it. Just look out for brake fluid coming out of the brake line and caliper.

What options do I have to stop the bleeding? I'm not looking to bleed them yet, just looking to take the calipers off.

Would i have to use a "brake bleeder pump"?

if you are removing the calipers, you have no choice...fluid will come out and you will have to bleed them all. really easy - just search on it here and do the foot pump method. if you are taking the calipers off, you will want to plug the lines so you don't drain all of the brake fluid out...air in the abs is a pain to get out.

you will want to get new caliper bolts for the reinstall as well. just be careful removing the bolts as some people have busted them.

I have a brand new power bleeder for sale if you are interested. This makes it a 1 person bleed job.
