OK I looked in the how to area and did a search and didn't find what I was looking for so I have a stupid question. I want to paint my calipers and I bought a can of the Duplicolor spray. I would like to take the calipers completely off the car to clean and prep. I already had the calipers and rotor off for an 03 control arm install and I saw the thread on how to take them apart for pad install. What I want to know about is removing the banjo bolt from the caliper to clean and prep it seperately. I have done pads before but have never removed the brake line so I am wondering, what will happen upon removal? Obviously some fluid is going to come out but how much? Will it partially drain the system? Will I have to have big buckets under the brake lines to catch alot of fluid or will just some come out and then stop? I assume it's not like a fuel line where you can just prop it up in the air with a rag shoved in it. I am no brake guru so take it easy on me lol and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.:beer:
