Astra caliper renewal

Hi. About to replace front caliper unit on astra estate, diesel.

  1. Should I also replace flex hose?

  1. Can I just bleed front brakes afterwards?

TIA

Only if it shows signs of cracking or perishing.

If the hose doesn't need replacing. Clamp the hose before removing the caliper. Only releasing it when you actually start to bleed the new caliper. Good chance then that you'll get away with just bleeding the one wheel. Mike.
