    Caliper guide bushing repair kits

    Does anyone know how many kits I would have to order (34111157038) to replace the guide bushes on the two front calipers? Obviously I need two bushings per caliper. The ETK says I need qty 2 of these kits, but I don't know whether that's per caliper or per axle.

    Also, can anyone who has replaced these give me a clue about the process? I'm assuming I simply pull the old bushings out and push / squeeze the new ones in...no special tools, etc, correct?

    For anyone searching, looks like qty 2 are required for the front axle, meaning each kit has two bushings and caps in it.

    Still looking for install advice...assuming it's pretty easy.

    bushings

    If you are going to replace the bushings you should look into some brass inserts and why you have it apart spend the extra $8 a caliper and replace the seals on the pistons its worth it
