Last Brake Question

Gentleman,


Does the brake reservoir drain by gravity when the calipers are removed?

[arenared]

Yes, it slowly dribbles out. I don't know if this is the fastest way to change the brake fluid if that's what you're after. If you don't want the fluid to dribble out, you will need to cap the line with a rubber hose or something.

I'm really reluctant to yank the calipers then, I'm worried about screwing up my perfectly working brake & clutch at a time when I have no income. I'm not sure how important it is to keep air out of the system, I would think the motive would correct any air bubbles, anyhow thanks for the input I guess for now the project is on hold unless someone has more advise to offer...

it would help for us to know what it is you are trying to do. why are you removing your calipers? you mention a Motive in your post; do you have a Motive bleeder?

Somewhere else I read he wanted to paint his calipers... could be more though.

I wanted to paint my calipers, change my brake fluid, bleed my clutch, (have not locatedthe clutch nipple on car yet) and upgrade to cross drilled Zimmermans. I was being treated bad at work so I buried myself into my Boxster in an attempt to ignore the upheaval around me. It didn't work and they moved me out anyhow, now jobless and not knowing if I can keep my toy, I'm a bit less enthusiastic about a project I was already unsure of. I can't see selling it really because I like it so much but taking it to another state, especially if I'm living in an apartment is not too appealing, I'm not sure if I can stay in my town, I may have to move to find work in my field.

Well if you move out onto long island you can come get payed to party and work for me. Good Luck
