Painting Brake Calipers
#11
im not 100% posative, but they probly used the g2 kit and didnt take them off.
maybe you dont but if you dont have breaks and back into a ditch dont hollar at me.
im fairly posative any time you take off the calipers from the lines you get air into the system.
im not sure how to bleed either, im always the guy hitting the pedal. lol one gets dirty, one persons foot gets sore. lol

i believer theres a nipple, someone hits the inside of it while the other hits the brake pedal. open the resevoir while doing this. i belive the order is back P, back D, front P, front D.
i wish someone with more knowlege on the subject would join in.

lol now im kind of debating doing this...i dont want to mess something up and be without a car, is there anyway to bleed the brake system by just driving slowly and using the brakes? sorry im asking questions that you might not even have an idea of =p

bleeding the brakes requires you to "crack" a zirc. you can do this by either like you said pushing teh middle of it or like i always do you just unscrew it a little till you hear the air come out and it dripps a little, i think it takes a 5/8 socket. its should be like this for all 4 wheels.

sorry i forgot to say, and this goes for all 4 wheels, before each wheel you crack teh zirc on, someone has to pump teh brakes and then hold teh pressure on the petal so you can hear the hiss of the air coming out. do this with the car off obviously.

you have to get the air out of the system b4 your brakes will work. always refill when your done with dot 3.
if your scared just buy the g2 kit, and some degreaser. clean um up paint um w/o taking them off(with included brush). and let dry. it probly costs more,and you wont get many color options. but its a quality kit thats proven.

what is the zirc? the little nipple? i looks like i just turn it a little counterclockwise and then someone hits the brakes, with the key in the off position, and i wait until brake fluid comes out then turn it back? then after all this i replace the new missing fluid?
