I'm taking the brakes / suspension off now....
Can I just drain the brake fluid via the bleeder pts, or do I need to blow them out using pressure? Will fluid stay in the lines? How much fluid is in the whole system? |

The more you drain it, the more air you'll have to get out of the lines later. If you're just replacing calipers, I'd let a little drip out and just have to do a regular brake bleeding when you are done.
I've been using the Speed Bleeders with good success. You may also consider using some of the different branded brake fluids that are colored to know when the old fluid has been replaced if you're concerned about getting all the old fluid out. |
