Installed
Okay. I installed my four pot front calipers today, along with the stainless lines (finally). The install was pretty straight forward. I unbolted the front calipers, by removing the bolts holding the caliper brackets, and disconnected the brake line at the top. This way everything came off in a neat package. Installed the new mounting brackets, then calipers, lines, then dropped in new pads and retaining plate and bolts. Swapped out the rear lines and was ready to bleed. After unhooking the battery, I used my hand vacuum bleeder starting with the rt rear, then moved to the left front, and bled the outer first, then the inner, moved to the left rear, and fnally the rt front, again doing the outer bleeder first. I was quiet easy to rell when the lines were clear, as the Super blue fluid shows up easily. I followed the same sequence one more time and finally checked each corner one more time the old fashioned way (pumped the brakes.
Based on my experience, the factory specified sequence worked very well with no issues, and Kines all show no air.
First impressions, after bedding in the new pads, the brakes are impressive. Will stop on a time, with no drama,
before new calipers, or paint
