I have to replace my front calipers on my 93 trooper. Does anyone have any advice or any tips on this procedure. Is it just a simple matter of pulling off the old, installing the new, and then bleeding the breaks? I'm just doing the front, will I need to bleed the rear brakes too?
TIA
If you've replaced the brake pads on the beast before then you've done about 85% of the job already, assuming you aren't replacing the caliper mounting bracket.
Be careful removing the brake line banjo bolts... remove them before you remove the calipers from the bracket. They can be surprisingly tight so you'll want a solid reaction point.
After that... it' basically the same as a regular brake job done right. Clean the slide bolts well and lightly lube using brake grease before re-installing them.
You definitely should bleed the rear brakes and be sure to flush all old fluid out of the lines.
