How do i change/Bleed front calipers

[bambamjj]

Hi All

I have changed plenty of calipers and bleed brakes systems but in what i call a modern car, never.

Im gonna be changing the front calipers to 312mm dia. tried new carriers and discs but the radius of the caliper does not match the disc, had read somewhere you could keep original calipers but mine bind and you cant remount the caliper, its only a few mm out but still enough..

Any way, im looking to remove original calipers and replace with correct ones - 312mm Dia.

Im gonna clamp hose, disconnect, then re-attach new caliper, Hopefully.

Is it straight forward and can the front calipers be bled on there own? dont want to have to do whole circuit and all being well there will be minimal loss of fluid. Also im gonna be bleeding these on my own, any recomendations on bleed kits. Ive never done a car with abs etc etc.

Thanks in advance for you help

hi mate it is the same as on any car, if it was me id bleed the n/s/f first then the o/s there is no need to bleed the rears as long as the m/c doesnt go empty

I have always done simpler vehicles, LR etc none of this new fangled stuff like ABS etc, lol.
