Question with brake change! quick one!
Ok, i been reading that thread about brake changes and im alittle confused.
I need to change the rotors and it says to take the end of the brake line out then push the pads in.
Wouldn't all of the brake fluid drain out?? or am i supposed to clog it somehow, then push the pads in and then take the caliper off?

Take the top off of your mastercylinder and put a towel or rag around it for overflow. Unbolt your caliper but leave the line & sensor connected. Before you take the caliper off the rotor reach in between the pads & rotor and press each side pads away from the rotor. A small amount of fluid my overflow the mastercylinder when you do this but probably not since it has room at the full line. Pushing back means that the new thicker rotor will slide between the pads now. Install new rotor, reinstall caliper, check fluid level & you're done. No bleed necessary if you don't break the line integrity.
Im sure you have this completed by now but you can rent tq wrenches for free (just a deposit that will be returned) at most major auto parts stores.
