Is there a diy for changing front calipers?
I may have damaged a line or ring changing my pads the other day, there was a spot on my drive this morning. I didn't have time to investigate before leaving for work, it didn't look too bad to drive, but definitely a seepage of some sort.
I'm hoping it's not but fearing it is my caliper, although I tried to be careful when clamping my pistons.
If it is, is there a diy out there, thinking maybe I can rebuild the caliper without getting a new one, replace all the rings . . . so I guess either a diy to replace the caliper, or a diy to rebuild/reinstall, either way.
If not, going to the shop tomorrow morning . . .
Thanks.

Ok, this thread could be closed, I guess. The spot wasn't there at the end of the day, and later that night I checked and it was still dry all up around the brake and wheel. Had new tires put on (from Tirerack, same place I got my brake pads) at a local shop, and they checked it too, didn't see any problems. Spot on drive must have been from where I changed the pads, and didn't pay attention to what I dripped while working on it.
Learned a lot, though, may be able to actually change it out if I had too.
Thanks for the links and info.
