Wow, thanks, I've been looking for the easy way to remove the calipers without making a mess or introducing air into the system. I would have thought any depression of the brake pedal would make the system drain even more profusely, in fact it's hard for me to see how this can be true. I want to do the job so if you have done this sucessfully I will have to try it, is there a particular "sweet spot" or just 2 inches?
