Yesterday I had someone work on my brakes, basically just bleeding them. Well he broke off the bleeder valve on the driver's side front. Went to the store and got an extractor, broke that off too. So instead of messing with all the rust and trying to drill out the broken pieces, I have decided to replace the calipers on all four wheels. Looking up prices for calipers, my choices for reman are basically ATE or Bendix. Now I didn't think to look while we had the tire off as to what is on there. As long as I am replacing all four calipers does it matter if I put back on ATE or Bendix? Local parts store guy said the hoses are totally different on each. Help! I really don't have a place to take the tires off to look. Also does anyone have the size of the fuel line return hoses, looks like I may need to think of replacing those too.

They are basically the same. Which one doesn't matter much as long as both sides use the same.

No. But if your hoses are as old as the calipers, replacing them also would be a smart move.

Which ones?

The ones he said should be replaced are the inter injector fuel return lines.
