First time I'm replacing my pads and, but also I'm replacing the calipers with it. (One broke) So now I just got them and I have a few questions.

1. There's these set of pins one the bracket of the caliper that hold in the brake pad. One acts as a spring. Now is there a special way to put them in? Cause it seems to not want to go into those slots where the pins are.

2. Will I have to bleed the back brakes when i'm finished? Since it's only happening on both front wheels. Passenger first, Drivers second.

3. Where do I buy Super Blue Fluid, I wanna flush the fluid and replace it with this stuff.

Super Blue is being discontinued, better buy it while you can!

I don't know what pins you're talking about. Are you talking about the brake pad retainers?

Since you're replacing the caliper, you'd have to bleed that wheel along with the opposite rear wheel.

Yea the brake pad retainer, I know it has 1 flat retainer on one side and a spring like retainer on the other... do i force them to go into the slot? And it the retainer there to keep the pad against the rotor and not cause vibration?

if youre replacing the fluid you'll have to bleed the whole system. :exnbp:

i would recommend against super blue (it has the tendency to turn into sludge if the system is not fully cleaned)

and bleed the entire system after flushing

the pad retaining clips are there to help the brakes "self-adjust"

Yep whenever you change the calipers (not the pads) you should flush the system. Bending the brake lines will cause air bubbles.
