hesitant to replace front caliper after Dewayne's saga 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be pstone on  Fri Mar 22 08:44 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a front caliper with a frozen piston.Bought a used one from the pick and pull and reconditioned it(removed,cleaned and lubed pistons, cleaned bores and filled with fresh fluid replaced seals and dust boots).Got a one man bleeder,new pads and hardware,fluid,and brake cleaner.Read and reread how to bleed brakes.All ready to go until I read all Dewaynes posts.
Does it matter which of the 3 bleed screws I do first? I plan on unbolting the old caliper and hanging it out of the way.Then clamping the hoses and sealing the resevoir.Bolt on the "new" caliper(w/new bolts of course)then switch the lines over.Then bleed the caliper(w/new pads in).Anything else I should know?
I even tested the bleeder screws on my work bench to make sure they would open.
Thanks, Phil
