Brand new to this, but can't see how, if the brake line connector is torqued to a standard 30 ft lb how are you assured the hole in the connector and the hole in the bolt are aligned?

On this truck, I ended up replacing the caliper which comes already pushed in. If you're not replacing the caliper, you would need to push the caliper piston back in with a C-Clamp or other caliper compression tool. You can also wedge a small screwdriver through the small opening in the caliper and pry between the brake pads & rotor pushing the piston back in. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

Sometimes you can tap the torx bit with a hammer a few times and that impact breaks them loose. Or you can try some PB Blaster or similar penetrating oil on them. Or you can try heating it up? Best of luck to you! Dan the Fix it Man

Hey so I'm in the same situation I need to know how to get fresh boots into the bracket. Do I need to pre-grease them or what? Please help

Hi Nick, If you're referring to the small slide pin boots, I think you should be able to get them in place with a little sil-glyde or similar brake grease. I don't remember for sure how they went in, but I am pretty sure I have changed some similar to this one in the past. It looks like when I changed these out, the boots were already installed on the replacement bracket. Thanks for watching, I hope you get it figured out ok. Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

You might need to have someone step on the pedal and pump it up while you open the bleeder and release the pressure a few times. There’s lots of videos on KZbin that show how to bleed brakes. Sorry, I don’t have one specifically on that. I had a pressure bleeder which helped push the old fluid through and get all the air out. If you can, sometimes it helps to just step on the pedal even with the bleeder open to get the gravity method to work… Best of luck to you -Dan the Fix it Man
