Expert Reply:
Basically you'd remove your old caliper by unbolting it from the mounting bracket and by unscrewing the brake line from it and then sliding it off the rotor (disc).
You'd reverse the steps to install the # K71-773-02. If you find that the brake pads are too thick to fit over the rotor use a c-clamp to squeeze the pad to the piston to compress it. Most likely this won't be an issue. Finally bleed the brakes and you'd be set.
I attached a video on brake bleeding for you to check out as well.
