Question on Legend 2 piston caliper conversion

Getting the 2 calipers this PM, I'm clear on switching the sides with the caliper with the nipple UP, and using the caliper brackets, pads, and pad slides from the TL.
What about the caliper slide pins-use the old ones from the TL or the new ones that come with the 2 piston calipers? Or they the same?

The pins are the same. I used the new ones for the sake of having more parts plus it was greased already so I saved on using my good grease!! Use as many of the new parts as you can. I used the new bracket bolts as well. Don't forget the bleed the brakes afterwards using the TL order of driver side front, passenger side front, PS rear, driver side rear. This would also be a great time to change your fluid to new clean fluid as well.

You can use from the New Calipers (ALL THE HARDWARE EXCEPT THE LEGEND BRACKET)..
No point in re-using the Old Slide pin and Bolt since they both fit.

Thanks, guys! I ordered the calipers without the brackets, but they have the rest of the new hardware with it. Figured the slide pins would be the same, but wanted to make before starting the project and having to stop and make a post if the pins were different.

Mine came with brackets for 48 dollars each. Worked good for me it's a nice upgrade and simple.

the legend brackets are good for taking the new bolts and slider hardware off of

you MUST flush the entire brake fluid system
smart money does it once BEFORE the caliper swap so all new fluid is all that touches them
when lines are open to replace caliper= you MUST do the 2 45mph to stopped, ABS active stops, of which I have oft written

prefill the new calipers with fresh DOT4 fluid from a squirt can
that cuts down bleeding time
