I have already bought new rotor and pads for the passenger side rear caliper. What else am I suppose to do in order to take the caliper out, Im used to the front ones so Ive really never had that much to do with rear calipers. Im gonna have to bleed the brakes, am I gonna bleed all the brakes or just that one side im working on? Gosh thats one thing im scared about screwing up in. Feedback and or tips would be appreciated..

A punch hammer for the rear star bit's that seem to not want to move for us in colder climates. Use the box end for where the ebrake goes through the caliper. It's a bit of a PITA. Just bleed the one corner if the other calipers were bled recently.

I dont really think my brakes have ever been bleed so will it still be ok to do just that one side? and Im not sure I get what you mean by the box end of the caliper../?

Box end of a box end wrench. The brakes should be bled once a year.

We should set up a reminder service for this, for people like Mapotazifosho

I read to not get the dyed version because of problems it was causing with ABS...?

unsubstantiated rumor as far as I'm concerned. I've never seen any evidence of the blue doing anything other than discoloring certain types of master cylinder reservoirs.

Nope, not unless you have a race shop handy. Try Valvoline Synpower DOT4. Great stuff, available anywhere, and not too expensive.
