Brake caliper replacement

I have a '99 super duty 2 wheel drive, I believe I have a bad left front brake caliper. Is this something that is easy to replace/change, what do I need to know, thanks. I have changed pads over the years so I can do that part.
Thanks

If you can change the pads you should have no problems changing a caliper.

caliper

I agree. The calipers are a very simple thing to change. I would only make one suggestion (from personal experience). Make sure you have ALL the necessary tools before you get the truck jacked up, tire off, etc. It can be REAL annoying to have to put it all back together to go to the store to buy a new tool! Then again, if you have another vehicle available....it isn't too bad.

Good luck!
