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.

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.
