VERY EASY!!! REPLACE YOUR CALIPERS THAT ARE NEEDED. THEN LEAVE THE LINES DISCONNECTED. LET GRAVITY PULL ALL THE OLD FLUID OUT. FILL RESERVOIR WITH NEW FLUID AND LET IT RUN OUT AGAIN UNTIL CLEAR FLUID COMES OUT. THEN TIGHTEN ALL THE LINES. NOW YOU MUST BLEED YOUR BRAKE LINES ANYTIME ONE LINE IS DISCONNECTED ALL MUST BE BLED. YOU WANT TO START AT THE CALIPER THAT IS FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE RESERVOIR USUALLY THE RIGHT REAR ONCE THAT ONE IS BLED THEN YOU WANT TO WORK ON THE NEXT ONE CLOSER TO THE RESERVOIR USUALLY THE LEFT REAR WORK YOUR WAY TILL YOU ARE DONE. YOUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON REMEMBER TO CHECK THE RESERVOIR WHILE BLEEDING MAKING SURE THAT IT DOES NOT RUN TO LOW WHERE THE SYSTEM ENDS UP GETTING AIR AGAINHave to bleed my brakes?
Just put everything back together and then you loosen up the bleeder screw and go through the bleeding process starting at the wheel furthest from the master cylinder which is the rear passenger side. Just keeping pumping the brakes until the fluid that comes out is new then move to the next closest and so on.Have to bleed my brakes?
First why did you disconect the lines.you don.t have to.go to popular mechanics web site ,there is a link that will show you how to do it.
next time buy a c clamp. to push in the piston. and drop the new pads in .Easy takes about 15 min a wheel. I've done it many time from chevies dodges,toyota,Even my 01 durango, took only 45 min for both sides,
