caliper change - plugging brake line, to reduce loss/air in system/ease bleeding

[JonRGV250]

You should be able to get a deep socket on the bleed screws no problem to crack them open. A tap with a hammer should shock it off nicely. I would also invest in the proper "crow foot" type spanners for brake bleed nipples. You will not round them off then as even a ring spanner can round them quite easily.

then..

Crack off flexi hose but don't undo it, just a tiny crack.

Remove caliper bolts

Spin caliper off flexi hose

Spin new caliper on to flexi hose

If that loses more than 10ml of brake fluid then you're slow.

it really couldnt be easier.
