How to remove brake line from Caliper

[Aristidies]

I'm replacing the drive shaft bearing and don't have the tools to do it. I will be bringing the caliper to my dealer to change the bearing but not sure how the brake line comes off. Have everything apart except the brake line. Please help! TIA

Undo the banjo bolt , make sure you don’t lose the 2 sealing washers and buy a vacuum bleeder for the re-installation.

I recently did the same. Took my Drive shaft and caliper to the dealer for warranty replacement of both the shaft and bearing.

There is a post concerning problems when refilling and using the conventional method of bleeding the brakes.
You need to refill the system by forcing the oil through the bleeder, thus the oil pushes the air up and out to your master cylinder reservoir until filled. I then used the conventional method to bleed the brakes once just to make sure, and refilled the reservoir to the proper level by simply adding some to the reservoir by pouring a bit in.

And as mentioned on that other post, I just bought a cheap skirt oil can and added a piece of tygon tubing and used some electrical tape to wrap that connection point before getting all oily. I use to have a bleeding kit from NAPA which pumped either pressure or vacuum and that would have been a better means, but that was $80 10 years ago, whereas the oil can was only $9 now.

Got it off without any problems. Actually, quite easy. I was unsure and afraid to break something. Thanks for the input guys!!! Have to wait til Monday to bring it to the dealer.
