I'm on the same project except I'm going yellow, replacing pads and going with drilled rotors. I'm still finding answers to stuff myself here's what I have for ya so far. If you do not remove the calipers you don't need to bleed. You do need to unweight the fluid supply line, which most do with a hanging device. If you remove the calipers you will not only need to bleed but you might as well change the fluid which is recommended every two years. You also need to know that brake fluid destroys paint on immediate contact. I ordered a motive power bleeder. I saw a pic tool pants posted showing a guy with the unit screwed right to the top of the main fluid tank. It looked to me like you could not only extract all the fluid from the main tank but possibly open the brake bleeder and empty the lines backwards. That part is an assumption, I don't know if it's true. I was going to read the Motive specs and ask if it wasn't answered there. Lastly, remember the clutch and brakes share a common supply, therefore you need to bleed the clutch too, good luck, maybe we can post pics when done.
