So the nut on the brake line doesn’t spin? I am replacing mine right now and I twist the caliper onto the threads like you said. I don’t like how the line gets all twisted in the end, which it does in your video which you can see at 7:24. I thought that was considered putting strain on the brake line. Seems like an engineering oversight to not have a brake line nut that spins…
As long as you didn’t let the system bleed dry you should only have to do it on the side you done it on. Would do no harm to check the other 3 while you’re at it and give the system a flush
Some will come out when you first disconnect it, after that, zip tie it facing upwards and above the level of the brake line under the body and you’ll be okay
@@FixnDrift would you recommend clamping it before disconnecting using mole grips and maybe some plastic or wood to prevent them cutting into the line itself?
Dont clamp the brake line, also dint hang the caliper by the brake line. Just put some paper below it, you have to bleed anyways, no sense in think8ng about preventing a few drops of brake fluid coming out@@chrisholmes8197
^exactly this. There is plastic brake line clamps you can get that in theory shouldn’t damage the brake line but if you’re not leaving it for a long period of time it’ll be okay
canceled my mechanic and gonna do it myself based on your video...look simple i have all the tools.thanks !
Thanks a lot 👍🙂 this tutorial was a life saver. Very easy to follow

Always tie the wheel bolts first with ur hands, not machine
Good video man :) You made it look easy, which made me try myself :)
Thanks! Just take your time and it’s not too hard
so you only have to do the side you replaced the caliper on ? please respond asap if yoiu can, doing the job now

How did you manage to disconnect the brake line without loads of fluid squirting out?

You don’t put copper grease on slide pins…there is a specific grease and it’s important to use it and defintely not that much
