Brake Bleeding
Well instead of hijacking budfreaks thread, i started my own. I am going to be doing my brakes soon (rotors/pads/ss lines). I pretty much understand how to bleed the brakes (read a few how to's on here and various places on the internet), my concern/question is, should the very first thing I do is bleed the brakes? If i do that will the caliper pistons be significantly easier to compress? thanks in advance, chris

Yes, they will be, after you open the associated bleed at each brake unit.

No need to bleed the brakes to compress the caliper pistons. Open the cap to the brake fluid reservoir and use the old brake pads and a C-clamp.
