Changing Calipers, how easy to do? What to know?

[YLW DRM2]

I will be swapping my calipers for the Yellow powder coated.
I recently changed my rotors and brakes and it wasn't hard to do what about changing calipers? Besides the same process that requires to change rotors/brakes what other additional steps would require to change calipers?
I take it I will need to bleed brakes after I change all four calipers. Is there a write up on how to bleed brakes on Viper?

Calipers are a piece of cake - just remove brake lines, unbolt, and slide off the rotors. Since your brakes and rotors are new, didn't you already have to remove the calipers to get the rotors off? I can't see how you'd be able to do the job without removing them.

When reassembling, make sure you replace the pads exactly as they came off. Once broken in, the pads are mated to the rotors. I'd also recommend you get a set of speed-bleeders for the car - makes the bleeding job much easier.

Get new washers for the banjo bolts in case none come with your new calipers.

Invest in a service manual for your model year/make Viper. It has a lot of useful information including the brake bleed procedure. I don't believe we have a brake bleed How To in the Illustrated's Section yet. Do a search on "bleeding brakes" (with the quotes) here and that should yield some good threads on the matter. You may also want to call Chuck Tator (Wizard) at Tator's Dodge. He can give you some tips as well as get you any parts you need at a VCA member discount.
