i've been working on it. I now need to remove the caliper from the hose, that's been confusing. I used the special tool to unlock the piston, a laoner tool from aap, but how do i remove the hoses? thanks.

Not the power tools. He's going to have a missing digit or worse...
This is more in line with his skill level.
Alternate mode of transportation is also a good idea.

Uber is less mortifying than that thing, maybe a Lyft too.

I tried to put the caliper back on the rotor, but I took out the spring (the one that can come off) and I had the rotor remanned bhy a guy in the area, but he warned me about the spring, which I didn't bring him at the time. His place is a good drive away, so I'd like to not go back there, is there any way for me to put that spring onto the caliper? Thanks. It's near where those hex bolts go in.

But should I use a flash? Should I use wide angle or portrait mode? I know a guy who works at the camera store but that is too far away and I have no coupons. Should I use my iPhone? I have a digital camera but I replaced one of the batteries. Should I replace both batteries? Should I take the picture in full sun or shade? Please help. I promise I am not a troll.

I asked e20 to post a picture of his progress in an attempt for him to establish any level of credibility. In the past he's stated it was too much of an effort to post a picture, but he has no problem running everyone else around in 100 different directions with all his car problems.

I had my caliper remanned at this reman caliper place about 30 miles from home, I forgot to bring the spring, and he said just bring it back with the spring if I can't do it, and it turns out, I can't and have struggled with it. any tips on how to loosen that spring? I looked at the reman caliper at the parts stores, they used the same bosch housing with a ford motor company signature in the housing so u know even if it's "wearever" it's still dcecent and is an original housing, so it's good to use, but they had the spring on it already, everything was good, but I frogot the spring! can i use brake spring pliers to get that spring in? the videos all have them with the spring in, not taken, out, so they aren't helpful thanks.
