Sorry if this sounds like a noob question but I've never bled brakes before. I've only replaced pads and rotors without disconnecting the caliper from the brake line.
In a few weeks I'm hoping to strip the existing paint off of my calipers and repaint them. In order to do the job properly I'd like to completely remove the calipers so that I can also access the other brake parts that have paint sprayed on them. Once I disconnect the line from the back of the caliper I'm wondering if the brake system needs bled? Or if you're doing one caliper at a time can you just reconnect the line and tighten it down? If I understand correctly the danger is getting air sucked into the system but I'm wondering if that only happens once the brake pedal has been pressed and then released?
I'd appreciate any pointers you guys can give me. Also, is there anything about the Challenger's calipers or brake system that is significantly different than any other brake system? I'm assuming the only bolts holding it on are the normal top and bottom bolts as well as the brake line bolt?
Thanks guys!
