I'm looking for step-by-step instructions (with pictures) to swap in Legend Calipers on a 2001 CL-S.

Thanks,

 

Did u ever change rotors and pads b4 and bleed brakes?
If you know how to change rotors and pads the calipers are easy..
Just make sure its not leaking and make sure you bleed it properly.

 

Fair point. I spoke to my mechanic friend and he wants to know if you need a scan tool to activate the pump, given that it is an ABS system?

He said some ABS systems require this... can anyone confirm?

 

NO it was pretty much plug and play.. just put the calipers on and thats it..

 

the right legend caliper goes on the left side on the car and so goes for the left caliper on the right side of the car. that so the bleeder screw is on top. use the tl/cl oem brackets. no scan tool needed. a few basic hand tools and about 30min-1hr to swap them. make sure u have brake fluid by ur side to fill up the reservoir when u bleed them

 

Exactly. Pretty straight forward. GL with install your gonna love those bad boys!

 

Perfect, thanks guys!

 

What Year Legend Calipers are you using? Is this a real good improvement over the stock Cals? What are the bennys?

 

They should be the dual piston calipers from the 95 Legend LS. There are a lot of threads on the benefits of the upgrade. Mostly stopping force and power. Longer life of the rotors with the power being spread more evenly over the rotor. Great bang for the buck, I speak from experience!
