Then remove the caliper from the rotor and take a piece of wire or zip tie and hang it from a bolt hole so not to put hang weight on the hose. Once you reinstall the caliper press on your brake peddle before driving other wise you will have no brakes the first 1 or 2 pushes. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
