silvermate Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hey fellas. I am in search of a DIY tutorial about front brake caliper replacement. One of the pistons in my front right brake is sticking, and eventually will lock up. So i would like to nip it in the butt, b/f all hell breaks loose on the right side. ha ha if any of you have or know where to locate this DIY procedure i would greatly appreciate it. Pics would be a great help too. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschunke Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 It's a relatively easy job for the average joe mechanic. Unbolt the old caliper, throw on the new pads and bolt on the new. The hardest part for me was loosening the caliper bolts. They were super tight and I needed to use a breaker bar. Trouble was there wasn't much room in the wheel well but I managed. You may need a special tool to depress the piston to fit the new pads. I used a 4'' vise. Hopefully you'll find something more convenient.
