Re: brake change

Watch out for letting the master cyl run dry. KEEP IT FULL. Because if it does run dry, it will then have air in it in places such that it will NEVER EVER IN A THOUSAND YEARS come out of it during "normal" bleeding, but instead, it will have to be removed and "bench bled". No sense in creating extra hassle for yourself.

Re: brake change

Thanks for the info! How are the rear brakes affected by just changing the front brake lines and calipers? Do I have the bleed them also?
