The right front caliper on my '87 has been sticking. I replaced the pads and relubricated the hardware. All was well for a month, then, last week, it started sticking again. I decided to replace both front calipers, reasoning that the piston bore might be corroded, causing the stickiness. While the calipers are off, I am going to get the rotors cleaned up a bit. My question is, what can be used to plug the brake lines while the caliper is removed to prevent brake fluid from running out of the master cylinder? I was thinking about using a brass plug, but I don't know the size of the fittings. Any other tips or tricks would be appreciated, since I haven't done this in about five years, and I'm a little rusty. THANKS!
