A caliper brake is a type of brake that works by squeezing the rim between two pads of a rubbery material. Those pads may also be called blocks and needs to be replaced as they wear out.

How do you replace a brake light relay switch on a Suzuki XL7?

There is no relay in the brake light circuit. There is a fuse . The only way they turn on and off is by the brake light switch that is located above the brake pedal on the steering column. There are 2 relays built into the under hood fuse block (PCB - printed circuit board). One for brake lights and the other is for the horn. To replace relay you change the fuse block.

Why is the brake line coming out of the master cylinder have three or four spirals in it before it goes to the distribution block?

I can think of a couple of reasons: 1. Less stress in the brake line due to shock, and relative motion beteen the master cylinder (mounted on the firewall) and the distribution block (on my vehicle, mounted on the frame). 2. More brake fluid in the longer brake line, which should absorb then dissipate heat better.
