    Apparently the right rear caliper has started to leak. I'm wondering how big a deal it is to replace, and I hear the left one should be replaced at the same time for system balance.

    Thanks!

    pop the wheels off, pop the calipers off, detach brake line, hold brake line as high as possible till you attach it to the new caliper, bleed brakes, put the wheels on and go.

    Ever changed your pads before? One thing to note is apparently the 04+ require a tool to twist the piston to get it to retract. Caliper should already be compressed enough to get it on though.
