question bout 400ex brakes

[tom416ex]

have an 02 400ex, need to put new calipers on, other ones froze up on me. Ive never done the brakes on it before. I know this may be a dumb question, but how hard is it to change the calipers and put new pads on? And roughly how long do u think it will take?????

it's not hard. it will take you an hour or so if you have never done it. you might not need new calipers what you want to do is go to napa or any other parts store and get 3M silicone paste. put it on the caliper pistons and the pad slider pins and see if it fixes them. if not then get some good used calipers off here or off ebay and make sure to put the silicone paste on all the moveing parts but don't get it on the pads and don't put too much on. let me know if you need anything else
