You dont have to remove the brake line to change the pads, just push the caliper piston back and put the pads on. Your going to have to bleed the brakes to get your brakes to work now. Quote

bansheekx Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 how to do that? Fill the resevoir with brake fluid and pump the brake pedal, hold the pedal down and loosen the bleed screw on the caliper. Brake fluid and air should come out of the screw, while still holding the pedal down tighten the screw. Repeat the steps until the pedal becomes firm and dont let the resevoir run out of fluid or you will have to start over. Quote
