I would also think that, by opening the bleed screws on the calipers, you could run the risk of getting brake fluid all over the calipers and damaging the finish.
Haha bringing threads back from the dead!
Thanks, that's how I've done it. But yesterday I read something about forcing old fluid back up through the system and thought I'd ask.
