Hard to remove calipers? - Honda Prelude Forum

BlueLude1 · 04-10-2003, 01:01 PM

Basically I am doing the E/S Master Bushing kit install alot with having my rotors machined at the same time an I was just curious if it was very hard to separate the calipers from the brake lines so that they are outa the way.

BTW - I would be removing all the calipers at once. I am kinda thinking its gonna be a pain to get all the air outa the lines u know. Peace lemme know cause im gonna start in couple hours.

Thanks

All it is, is one bolt, that holds the line to the calipers. The lines however are bolted to the struts and suspension. Two screws to get the caliper off the arm and one for the line. If you remove your caliper you will have to bleed all the brakes. If your not replacing your caliper you can hang them out of the way pretty easy. That's what I did when I installed my bushings (don't know why I removed them later). Just use a wire tie and don't let them hang from the line for too long.

ps. If you have any questions during any of the install just pm me or email me and I'll help you out. I will just be finishing putting mine together tonight. So I'll be glad to help if you run into any problems. But if you have a helms you should be able to figure it out pretty easily

Well I was thinking about painting em like my Valve cover but I have old paint on there an kinda wanted to have em to where they were able to be worked on on a bench thats why I was thinking of removing em but I didnt wanna get into a situation where I had all this air in the lines an then had to prime em
so I figured I would ask
