what exactly is involved in taking off calipers completely?

D,

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Another member suggested a stick wedged on the brake pedal, I placed one between the pedal and the metal under the drivers seat. The post said there was a valve that prevented the fluid from seeping from the main reservoir with the stick in place.

All I can say is it worked great, only a very small amount of fluid escaped which I handled with baggies placed on the brake line ends. Be careful with the brake line support bolts, I broke one off and had to replace it, it didn't take much muscle to shear it, I'd soak them in penetrant. The calipers will have some fluid in them too so be careful, paint & brake fluid are not friends. I also recommend labeling each caliper with a mark so they go back in the correct corners. If you are going to replace the decals keep in mind that the f&r go in opposite directions.


Lastly, I can't say enough good things about the powerbleeder, it's worth every penny, good luck.
