Hello, as I said in my previous post on brakes I am completely changing them out on my 96 I just bought..

The question I have is I have to completely replace the rear Rotors, Calipers and Pads.. Since I have to return the Old Calipers to get the Core Charge back how do I cap off the break line when I remove it from the old Caliper? I dont want anything to run dry.. do I just do it quick? or is there some way I can stop it? or will it not leak much if there is no pressure on the pedal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I get the Calipers in tomorrow and everything else is sitting waiting.. including my patience of not being able to get the stang inspected to get tags yet

cork it, tape it, cap it with something. Most places will be nice enough to give you the part and recieve the core the next day.

Buy the calipers first, replace them and then bring your core for a refund of the difference.

You will need new banjo bolts and crush washers.
