Jacked the pass rear up and pulled off the dually tires. Thankful that the torque multiplier came with the socket to remove those lug studs. The rear calipers are the same as the front, interesting. I think I might go get 2 more because why not.
Later That Day…..
Well the rear brakes are a bigger pain than the front. Started by breaking off the tiny bolt holding in the caliper retainer. I swear it was already nearly broken because I barely touched it and it snapped. Drilled out and tried an easy out, they never work for me. So I set that aside for now. Then I go to remove the brake hose and it won’t budge, had to unscrew it from the hard line and take it out with the caliper. Put it in the bench vise and got a nice grip on it and got it off destroying it. Weird thing is the date code on the hoses is 1994 and the bus is a 1998, so probably good to replace anyways. Then the pads are just toast, so off to O’Reilly’s again. They had the pads and 1 more caliper but had to order the hose. So Wednesday I’ll be trying to put it back together. Then decided to start putting the new caliper in and it’s a bit different than the first 2. It’s not factory painted and missing some of the hardware. Weird because it’s the same brand and same model number as the first 2. So I painted it black with some leftover caliper paint.
