caliper replacement 98 Civic EX
This is a copy of my thread in the brake section.
I went searching for a scrapping sound in my left front during right hand turns, could not duplicate the sound on the stands but decided to check my brakes while it was in the air. I found a little chunk missing from the piston boot and also the inner face of my rotor had significant build up of crud on it. That is probably the reason I've had a mild pulsation on braking. The crud is almost resistant to being buffed off with a wire brush. So, I will be turning both rotors this week and rather than just fix this caliper I will get 2 rebuilts from A-zone. Does the brake line simply come off the caliper with a socket or open end wrench or is there some issue I have to watch out for? Besides doing a bleed afterward are there things I need to do or be aware of? thanks
