Removing Calipers
Never did it before. How hard of a job? Also, I am draining all my brake fluid out of my master cylinder (its as brown as mud). Any good tricks on how to get it all out and get the lines clean?

Not very hard at all. You'll need a 3/8" allen key/socket.. To get out everything you need to bleed the entire system. get the bigger bottle of brake fluid. You can safely gravity bleed the whole system, or if you have a bleeder, or two people it can be done that way. As for cleaning out the lines alcohol can be used to remove residue from old fluid in the lines, BUT YOU HAVE TO GET IT ALL OUT!, to do that you really need to get ALL fluids out of the lines, which will in turn fill your lines with air. I kinda gave you the rundown backwards.. bleeding is the last step, as it will remove any and all things you have in the lines that don't belong there after the alcohol. When you bleed the brakes you want to make sure no more air bubbles are coming out of the bleeder screw with the brake fluid.
