1.How are the brake calipers connected to the rest of the braking system?
The caliper assembly is usually located inside the wheel and is connected to the master cylinder by tubes, hoses and valves that direct brake fluid through the system. We could continue talking about brake calipers for days on end, but we'll show some restraint. Here's what you really need to know: Your brake calipers are very important.
2.When to replace brake calipers?
Under normal driving conditions, the heat generated by the braking system can weaken and break the seals inside the calipers over time.
If you don't drive often, they can get rusted, stained or dirty and start leaking brake fluid.
However, you should check your brakes immediately if you experience any of the following:
△Your brakes keep squeaking, squeaking, or rubbing
△Your brake or anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on
△Your car jerks or pulls to one side when braking
△You need to hit the brakes for them to work
△Your brake pedal feels unusually soft, squishy, or hard
△You notice a brake fluid leak around the wheels or the engine bay
