Question Rookie brake question...

I plan on painting my calipers soon but had a question. I'm thinking of pulling the caliper off the rotors, but leaving it connected to the brake line. if I leave the line connected, do I have to bleed the system? my guess is NO, but I just want to confirm. otherwise, i'll just leave the calipers on and just mask the hell out of my well.


thanks in advance.

If you use G2 brush on....you eliminate any question.

Spray into a cup and use a brush LOL.....Just use a garbage bag to tape off the whole area and you will be fine. There is no need to take it off or bleed the system.

go to your user control panel (user cp) on that blue menu (same as log off bar) and it should be on the left hand menu. you may not be allowed to do one yet though. I believe there's a 30 day minimum as a new member and some number of posts you have to make before you can do it. I can't remember, but if I'm bs-ing you, it'll be under your user control panel like I said earlier.
