  Q: How Should Calipers Be Replaced?

  A: If replacement is indicated, usually because of fluid leakage, it is recommended that the calipers be replaced, not overhauled. New and factory rebuilt units are available on an exchange basis, which makes this job quite easy. Always replace the calipers in pairs-never replace just one of them. To remove, first loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. Block the wheels at the opposite end. Remove the front wheel. Next, remove the banjo bolt. Disconnect the brake hose from the caliper and discard the sealing washers. Plug the brake hose to keep contaminants out of the brake system and to prevent losing any more brake fluid than is necessary. Remove the caliper mounting bolts and lift the caliper from its bracket. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the caliper mounting bolt to the torque and the wheel lug nuts to the torque. Use new sealing washers for the brake hose-to-caliper banjo bolt. Bleed the brake system. Make sure there are no leaks from the hose connections. Test the brakes carefully before returning the vehicle to normal service.
