    Changing Calipers

    How hard a job is it to swap out the calipers? Or How hard is it to just use a re-build kit to change out the seals only. I have never done either and don't want to screw up a rebuild. Shop manual says to clamp the brake hose? I saw another trick where they placed a plastic bag over the...
