  Q: How to replace brake calipers on Chevrolet Metro?

  A: The first step to replace the brake caliper is to drain two-thirds of the master cylinder fluid. Before beginning work apply supports to lift the vehicle up and then take out the tire and wheel set. First disconnect the brake hose union bolt by placing a receptacle under it to collect fluid and discard the union fitting washers. Take out the two mounting bolts from the caliper and pull the device off its carrier. First release brake caliper pins and check the bolt condition plus all other brake parts including pads and boots for damage. Replace parts when required. Apply silicone grease to the caliper pins then put on the boots before inserting them into the caliper carrier location. Place the caliper on its carrier and connect it with two mounting bolts before tightening them to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Put on new washers with the brake hose union bolt before bolting it tight to 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.). Place the tire and wheel assembly back on and then lift the vehicle. Refill the master cylinder with brake fluid, vent the brake system before restarting the car, and conclude by identifying any fluid loss.
