Default replace rear caliper and prake lines

Can anyone help me how to remove the rear calliper?
How do you take the calliper out since is attached with the ABS system??
And also how do you correctly get the air out of the callipers? Do you have to bleed of all 4 callipers at the same time, or you can do it one at a time??
Because I change my brake lines before changing the pads and rotors I bleed them and I after I installed the front rotors and pads the brake don’t work…do I have to bleed them again???
I am also stack on the rear because I cant understands how can you get the rear calliper out, it is attached to something else which it appears to be the ABS from what I understood.
Any pictures???

Thanks

Vass

judging by the questions your asking, you should not attempt doing brake work.

look for a reputable shop in your area.

Exactly what have you done so far? Don't remove anything else until after you get the brakes working again.

The rear caliper is connected to the emergency brake cable. You have to disconnect the cable to take the caliper off. There's a metal shield with two 10mm bolts that needs to come off then there's a clip you unclip to remove the cable. Then you have to disconnect the brake line. I suggest switching the calipers quickly so, you don't lose all of your fluid. If you let the master cylinder empty, it can be difficult to bleed the brakes.

Anytime you open the hydraulic brakes, you need to bleed. I always do all 4, one at a time but, you normally only have to do the one corner you opened unless you let all the fluid leak out.

when bleeding the brakes if you're by yourself try gravity bleeding them. Start with the Drivers side front, then drivers side rear, pass rear and then the pass front. Do one at a time until no air comes out of the bleeder screw.
