When I replaced the calipers on my 85, the new replacement calipers where made by a different manufacturer. The short metal brake line  hooked up to a different location on the new caliper. I believe I had to order new short metal brake lines and use professional bending tool to get them to fit right. I ordered mine from Rocky Mountain Motorworks.

Well, I've got a sticky front caliper so I've got to replace both
calipers. Anyway, I'm thinking I will replace the rotors too, but I
notice that I might have to press my bearings out to do this. Should I
order new bearings? It seems to me that the busdepot has bearing for $25
a side to do this.

any thoughts?

And, I've got to look in my bentley on how to remove the rotors. Any
tricks or things I should watch out for?

Thanks!
