Rear brake caliper

[rob]

Getting ready to change left rear brake caliper. Dumb question, what is best way to remove the flex line? Remove at caliper, or at the other end? Thanks.

Remove at caliper. Break loose with wrench, then twist caliper off of the line. Obviously, you have to make sure the caliper is removed from the carrier first. Also, iirc, it's easier to twist the old one off and the new one on if the caliper carrier and dust shield are both removed from the wheel bearing housing.

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CROSS THREAD THE NEW CALIPER WHEN INSTALLING!!!!

^^^^^ This.
Don't cross thread any of the bolts.
