Front caliper 2nd gen calipers install help

I have 2005 Toyota Tacoma and need to replace the front break caipers. Is there any guides or info or tips on how to do for 2nd gen Tacoma. thanks!

 

remove the two bolts holding it to the steering knuckle and undo the hard brake line plumbed to the caliper, swap pads over to new caliper reconnect everything then bleed the system.

 

What do you do before unhooking the hard brake line? I've never bled brake lines before, but I know you can't just unhook it or it'll leak everywhere right?

 

Do you have the proper flare nut wrench for the line?
Probable want to crack it loose, then tighten back up to stop the leak while the caliper is mounted. Then remove the two mounting bolts, then remove the line and swap calipers quickly. You're going to spill fluid, no way around it. Just make sure your master cylinder is topped off before you start.

Once the caliper is swapped, hose it off with some brakeclean, then slide the pads in. Then start bleed process.

 

What flare nut wrench do I need? So you're saying to just let it leak but swap as fast as I can?

 

Are the pistons in the calipers bad? You usually just have to replace the pads and if the rotors are warped/worn, new rotors.

 

Same size a normal wrench fits. Flare wrenches give the B-nut more support so you're less likely to round it off.
