Default brake caliper replacement

I have a question, when replacing the actual brake caliper, do you have to change the brake fluid cuz it will leak when being changed??

Have to? Maybe not. Should? Definitely. Brake fluid is cheap.

sorta but if you have ever thought about getting stainless lines this may be the time. Since you already have to bleed the lines.....it's a little extra but may be worth it in the long run

IMO, there's no advantage to SS hoses except bling. Not that bling is necessarily bad. (And yes, I have them. That's why I know.)

I beg to differ.

But to each his own.

I too have them.
