[QUOTE="bornatiger, post: 11768393, member: 123658"] Left rear caliper is toast! I am picking up a new one Friday. I have been wanting to paint my calipers for a while now. Figure now is as good a time as any. The plan is to paint them Saturday and bleed them Sunday. On to the questions! Should I remove the rear calipers, paint, put them back on, then repeat for the front? Or take 'em all off at once? Any order I should bleed the brakes? Ex: front 1st then rear, left 1st then right. Should I go ahead and flush the whole system? If so, how? How do I keep all the fluid from coming out while I have the calipers off? While cleaning the caliper before painting, how do I keep junk from getting in the bleeder hole and line hole? Tape obviously won't work because the cleaner will ruin the stickiness. Will brake cleaner mess up the boot around the pistons? Any advice you guys have would be great as well. I know I don't have to remove the calipers but I have all day and I gotta bleed the system anyways. TIA SVTP, Brian [/QUOTE]
