First before you remove the pins, crack the banjo bolt that holds the flex hose on, then remove the pins, remove the caliper, if any fluid got on the pads, change them too, now, attach the flex hose and make sure the copper washers are in place, one on each side of the bolt, then attach it to the caliper, insert the pads and remount the caliper, then snug the bolt, not too tight! Just need to insure it hold fluid...now open the master and refill the reservoir, it's important that it doesnt run dry! Open the bleeder, let fluid drip out then close it, now bleed with an assitant, and your done! It is recommende to change caliper in PAIRS!
