To bleed or not to bleed
« on: April 14, 2012, 03:37:09 PM »
Squeaky brakes here - I read a few topics and have a vague idea about how crud gets into the piston so I need to give a thorough cleaning.. question is do I have to bleed out the brakes before I disassemble?

I wasn't able to find a step by step guide on how to take the caliper apart.

Thanks

Did you look in the brake FAQ?
