How do you change brake hose in a 1993 Chevy c1500 truck?
If it is a hose, that runs from a hardline to a caliper or from a hard line to the hardline located on the axle, then you simply remove the old one, using a line wrench, install the new one, and bleed the brakes. To bleed the brakes, you start with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, but if you only replaced one hose, then only bleed that one. If you must replace a line, then remove that line, either have someone or make up a new line yourself, install the new line, and bleed the brakes.

How do you get front brake pads off of a 94 Olds Cutlass?
Remove the two bolts holding the caliper over the rotor, remove caliper. You may have to gently persuade it with a dead blow or hammer. Once removed the pads come off by pushing them out. Use a clamp to press the caliper piston back into the caliper or you won't be able to put the caliper back over the rotor with the new pads installed. Now simply work in reverse order installing the pads and caliper, bleed your brakes, and hit the road.

Changing the caliper is an extension to the changing the brakes procedure.The 'extension' is to disconnect the brake line/hose from the caliper.Next extra step is to bleed the brakes - since the new caliper is going to be full of air when you first hook it up.See "Related Questions" below for more extensive coverage of the procedures...
How do you install front brakes snd adjust caliper on dodge neon?
Jack the Neon up and remove the wheel. Keep the vehicle on a stand for safety. Unbolt the caliper and slide it off. Remove the brake pads from the caliper and replace them with new pads. Reinstall the caliper. The caliper is not adjustable, however you can bleed the lines for possible air in the fluid.
You just installed a new caliper do you leave the bleeder valve closed and fill it before you bleed the brakes?
After you install the caliper, to keep the mess to a minimum, use a length of rubber hose that fits snug over the bleeder and direct the other end of the hose into the bottom of a clear container, open bleeder valve, remove master cylinder cover, keep reservoir full with new brake fluid (do not let it go empty if possible), let gravity fill the caliper and gravity bleed the majority of the air out. When you no longer see bubbles coming out from the hose bleed the brakes as you normally would.

How do you change calipers on a 2002 Dodge Ram?
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.
