How do you change calipers on a 2002 Dodge Ram?

Answer 1

First unbolt the slide bolts and pull the caliper from the rotor. Take the pads out. Then support the caliper with wire or bungee cord or whatever. Now also support the new caliper near the old one. Undo the bolt that the line goes to and remove it . Now bolt the bolt to the new caliper. MAKE SURE to use new brass washers usually supplied with the new caliper. Remove the old caliper out of the way. Put the new pads in and replace the caliper onto the rotor. Then bleed the caliper. There is a bleed screw on the caliper. Connect a plastic see-through tube to this bleed screw then have someone pump the brakes and hold them. Open this screw to push the air out. Keep doing this until you see nothing but fluid in the tube. Its easier if you use a closed ended wrench with tube running through it to do this. Now it should be done. Good luck.
