Why should you always replace brake calipers in pairs, and How to remove and install them on Volkswagen Rabbit?

Replacement of the calipers should be done in pairs, not singly. The first step in eliminating the front or rear wheel bolts involves first loosening the bolt, then lifting the vehicle up in the air and place it securely on jackstands and block the opposite end with a wheel. Take off either the front or rear wheel. To remove the cable that is driving a rear caliper, remove the cable off the parking brake lever, and slide the cable ball end off the lever and use an open-end wrench to compress the parking brake cable retaining tabs and pull the cable out of the bracket. In the case of a front caliper, take off the banjo fitting bolt and disconnect the brake hose with the caliper, capping the line and hole, and removing the caps and caliper guide pins. Take out the sealing washers of both hose-fitting sides and stuff the brake hose to avoid fluid loss and contaminant infiltration. In the case of a rear caliper, unscrew the brake line fitting out of the caliper with a flare-nut wrench, snap out the brake hose securing clip, and work the line out of the bracket, plugging the fitting to avoid loss of fluid and entry of contaminants. When there is a need of removing the caliper to access other parts, do not unplug the hose; rather either suspend the caliper using a piece of wire so as to not to destroy the brake hose. Take out caliper guide pins or bolts to remove the caliper. Installation This is the opposite of removing; with a front caliper, fit new sealing washers on either side of the brake hose inlet connection, screw in the fitting bolt, and mounting fasteners to the required torque. The brake system should be bled, and there should be no leakage of the hose connections, and then the brake pedal should be pumped a few times and then the vehicle should be driven with the brakes being carefully checked before it can be checked back to normalcy.
