Did you guys bleed the brakes after install?? What about when pushing the piston in for clearance, did you have the brake fluid reserve top on or off??

I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion is on loosening the bleeder valve before squeezing the piston back. The idea is to squeeze any contamination out or it will get into the ABS and kill it.
