    I merged your two threads, there is no need to have two threads with the same topic.

    I change the threads title to get the stuff in line, all the question about anything can be answered here or have been talked about in pervious threads.

    If you've never had your brakes off before, and you still aren't quite understanding what you need after reading the "How To".... you might not be ready for a caliper upgrade. Any time you take the calipers off / swap calipers, you need to be sure the system is bled properly. Correct install will be crucial. Taking shortcuts or making mistakes can potentially be very dangerous.
