All you have to do is unbolt it and pry it off,disconnect brake line.I just put a pan under it to catch fluid.I'd buy a semi loaded caliper it comes with the bracket it bolts to.I get mine at NAPA.The reason they usually stick is the sliding pins get stuck and won't release the caliper.Make sure you get some synthentic caliper grease for the slide pins.I try too check the slide pins once a year when rotating the tires.To install: I bolt the bracket on then put the brake pads on the bracket then slide the caliper over it ,put on brake line,then put a clear hose over the bleeder and other end in a container with some brake fluid in it. Then have someone pump the brakes and hold the pedal down and loosen the bleeder screw until some fluid/air comes out and pedal goes to floor.Then tighten it and repeat until all that comes out is fluid[make sure to keep the master cylinder full].Put tire on and your done.
