Cailper,hose install ??
This is probably common sense to u-all but , being new i dont want to screw anything up.
My question is, can i (should i ) assemble my new break hose to the new front caliper off the car, then install to hard line OR do i have to for some reason install the new hose to the hard line first, then install the caliper to it?
Seems like i would loose more fluid doing the later...
Also , do all pads have to be bedded in??
Thanks for your advice...

You might find it's hard to tighten the banjo bolt with the caliper off the car.

If you have a bench vice slide the caliper into it so that wont' turn and install the new hose with a new bolt and crush washers, then install on the car when you can.
