Here’s a semi-related dumb question. Since I have rounded up the supplies to replace the rotors & pads on the front, I decided that I may as well paint the calipers while I am at it. I have all new hardware as well. I have only ever replaced pads and never removed a caliper completely. What happens to the fluid after I unscrew the brake line? It’s under pressure, correct? Does it flow out everywhere and let air into the system or do I need to plug the line somehow? I have a Motive Bleeder and new fluid and was planning on flushing the fluid after completing the painting & rotor & pad replacements.
As always, thanks for the help. The people on this board are very helpful!
