[@Ayeeitschrisxp]

[@winds10]

What size is that brake pad pin clip dealy-doo? I appears the mechanic who serviced my brake used any old wire and it broke when I was taking it off. Thanks.

[@rp17rionda]

How important is the retaining clips on the brake hose? I lost mine when a replace my calipers? it doesn’t seem to move even without the clips when i put it back in?

[@br12705]

What do you think about the reliability of remanufactured brake calipers over brand new calipers? The remans are so much cheaper….

[@jamesbaldwin6768]

Need to know The information I got, lug nut torque is 110lbs. You stated a much lower torque. Should I stay with the 110 when I replace them

[@0306sunny]

What is the length of ratchet you used?

[@aizenitchi2037]

Do you have to do the manual brake bleed right after? I'm thinking about taking it to the dealer to do the brake flush/bleed after installing the front caliper .

[@bh5697]

Yes do not drive the car unless the bleed has been done

[@calvinr5301]

Do i have to bleed the whole brake system if replacing just one forward brake caliper

[@Andr1019_]

Whats the difference between the 13WG, 13WH, 13WL that is stamp on this calipers, does that means size of the caliper?

[@WhatwouldDrewdo-vj6mw]

Are you supposed you lube the pins?

[@nordicpride9708]

Looks like Lou Ferrigno torqued down the caliper bolts before you

[@robertlai8191]

this flare open wrench 10 mm.

[@mkurtzhals]

I broke the steel brake line. Do you sell those?

[@1AAuto]

+Matt Kurtzhals We do carry brake lines for certain vehicles. Head over to 1aauto.com, enter your vehicle's year, make and model at the top and search for "brake lines".

[@randybates8121]

Replace rotors when replacing pads? Does nobody believe in turning rotors anymore? Granted if the tech is using a manual lathe it comes down to experience, but I'd think most brake lathes nowadays used by parts stores are automated. I could be wrong.

[@TheDesertRat31]

Oh how I'd love to have a lift....
