    Just did mine. One change I would recommend, slip the brake cable over the new caliper hook first, then pull the cable to slide into the bracket. A lot easier. Thanks for the video!

    Liked that, specially elevating the bleed bottle. Have bled brakes for years by just cracking the bleed screw and pushing the fluid out but your method is much better. Muchos Grathias mon Ami,

    Thanks, I was doing the one person method but never got good results but that’s because I kept the bottle lower than caliper and hose not inside the fluid in the bottle

    I noticed that the bleeder valve was on the bottom of the caliper when you removed it from the car, then I noticed that the new caliper bleed valve was at the top of the caliper, that is the correct way the caliper should be on the rotor. I guess you noticed that too. we live and learn. good job anyhow.

    Remove and re install all new calipers if possible put a small of amount of fluid in the actual caliper then bolt everything down then take the big bottle of break fluid dump it upside down in your master cylinder make sure u have a catch pan by the master cylinder and under all four calipers keep all the bleeders open till all the calipers are pissing clean fluid at a steady steam close them all off pump them up check them on an incline like a driveway if possible if they don’t go flat and hold tight ur good if the pedal does t feel good traditional bleed but I’ve never had to my original all at once method works great on flat rate

    The design intent is to separate the caliper from the bracket. Mount the bracket, then the pads, then install the caliper. It's actually much easier to do if you do it that way.

    so the reason it took so long to get fluid going thru the line is the caliper was empty even tho you prime it you did crack the bleeder valve to allow it to fill.

    I think you need to squeeze the TABS...not where you have the vise grips. Squeeze on the other side of the bracket and push it out.

    @8:23 Did you apply any Threadlocker on those mounting bolts? I put a Blue Thread Locker on that job like a 1.5 years ago, everything was good, no problems w/breaks. I see in many film people use Blue TL on those attaching Brake Bracket-to- Knuckle bolts. But now I did smth else on suspension and needed to remove the Brake Bracket again. When I looked to double check the torque and everything in Shop Manual for our 2001 Saturn SL2 (I have one), they say there to apply Heat 272 Loctite or equivalent. And if you don't have that Red Loctite, you need to replace the attaching bolts. Of course it is advice for a shop w/unlimited access for the bolts of that type and everything, and they are very precise (supposed to be of course). But why everyone applied Blue, as Shop Manual says Red? That what puzzled me. This is full Saturn Shop Manual 2000-2001 S-series, very detailed, 3 huge volumes (4-5 different books inside of each volume, put together w/binder), thin strong paper like papyrus. I'm confused on all that. If I apply Red, will I be able to brake those nuts w/huge breaker bar, or heat would be needed? it is not a problem to apply heat of course, but there are CV Axle Boots there close by, I even don't know. And again, everyone applies Blue: Mech the nic, Chris Fix, many others. I would appreciate any opinion on this matter. Thank you for the great film.

      The manufacturer instructions states that the copper anti seize is fine for metal on metal applications. Do not use anywhere near or in contact with rubber. Use the pure silicone paste for metal on or near rubber applications.

    How about removing old caliper bracket and sit it aside then put new caliper on and then swap hose over? Less fluid loss, mess and less possibility of running master or ABS pump dry while changing over.
    There is a better way!!
