    Guys remember that when you are hadeling a brake caliper you need to make sure it does not hang the way it shows on this video. This could easily damage your brake line. Make sure you suspend it with a cord to something so that it does not hang all over the place like it shows on this video as he tries to compress the caliper. This is a big NO NO!!!
