It’s amazing how much less stuff I break using 30 seconds of propane heat on most any bolt underneath.
Even this came apart….

Remove the caliper, open the bleeder, push piston(s) in. Start bleeding line normally (with a bleeder). The remaining old fluid will be a tiny drop in passage between bleeder screw and piston.BlackBart wrote: 02 Mar 2025, 12:53 Can you push out all the old brake fluid by flushing it through? There’s no low point where you can just drain it, and you’ve got ABS piping.
