Default Rear Caliper Replacement

Hey everyone,
So my brakes on my recently purchased 2000 2.8L a4 quattro.

I am going to replace my rear rotors and pads, and one of my rear calipers.

I have my Haynes Manual but I was wondering if there was anyone who has pictures or a write-up on replacing a rear caliper. I know how to replace pads and rotors.

I searched for a write up but came up empty on write ups for the caliper.

I appreciate your help.

If you are replacing all that, you could consider doing the rear s4 b5 caliper,rotors,pads swap. But anyways it is very self explanatory. The only thing that is sort of an issue is the e-brake cable and the rear brake fluid line. Unscrew the brake line from where it connects to the first section of metal hard line on the car, can be extremely hard to do since it can seize over time. Then unbolt the caliper from the hub. Then do a weird twist and such to remove caliper while getting that e-brake cable to pop out. You will have to play around with the cable. Unscrew brake hose. Screw brake hose onto new caliper with some plumber's thread tape. Hook the e-brake cable back on. Then bolt caliper back on. Hook up brake hose. Bleed brakes. You shouldn't run into any big issues.
