Brake system work should always be carried out by qualified individuals. If you are not completely confident of your skill in this area, have someone who is do the installation or assist you with the installation. Revolution Brake LLC accepts no responsibility for the consequences of improperly installed brake components. Your life depends on your brakes, be careful.
Installation: Jack up the front of the vehicle and secure with jack stands. Refer to the shop manual and remove front wheels, calipers, rotors and flex hoses. These brake parts will not be reused. After disconnection of the flex hoses from the chassis hard lines, it is a good idea to plug the hard lines to prevent excessive brake fluid loss and entry of air into the system.

The calipers can last more than 100,000 miles before they might require replacement.
