So I couldn't get the used line from the junkyard, the fittings were stuck together and I rounded them off. I was able to remove the left rear hose like I had wanted. I have two new hoses coming tomorrow. Two used calipers and two new hoses brings it ot $50 plus the $35 for my flare wrenches. Sears said my $10 off coupon was expired... Customer service will be hearing from me.

Anyways... I spun the wheels with the calipers off and didn't hear anything dragging. I do hope its not the master cylinder. I've never bench bled one of those and I do not want to deal with the flare nuts.

I wonder if a person might want to get some rebuild kits to do the calipers that come off the car as back ups while you drive on the used one that are inbound.

I would like to do this with the old rear calipers laying around here for some back ups. I guess the rear caliper kit would have to be specific to the piston size. The rebuild kits on here reflect the differences in part numbers for the rebuild kits for each model....cool, accurate.

You could get crazy and powder coat the caliper bodies Ferrari red. A guy was telling me you can powder coat small parts at home with some sort of kit. I wonder how it turns out?
