2016 GT PP Brembo caliper intall.

I’m going to remove the Brembos from my GT to paint them. Upon reinstall, do I need to just bleed the 2 front calipers or the whole system? Thank you for any advice on this.

If you can keep the fluid level above the min line in the reservoir the whole time, you will only need to bleed the fronts.

Thanks man, will let you know how it turns out.

Make sure you properly bleed the Brembos, there are inner and outer bleed nipples.
there are a few you tube videos showing the proper sequence.

Thank you, just removed them yesterday. Had a situation stopping the fluid from dripping out, while I prep & paint Caliper. Figured out a solution for that, so on to some paint magic. I have been checking out several vids, CJ pony parts, LMR, etc., & have correct sequence. Appreciate your input, have a good one.

So how did you stop the fluid from running out?

found some silicone tubing in a part for a GTI I used to own, it slipped perfectly over the hard line & then just crimped it with a clamp.

Tubing was new, never used. Also read about using vacuum line plugs as a remedy for this also.

Back in the day we used golf tee's for vacuum, fuel and rubber brake lines.

I just used locking pliers that were *juuuussttt* tight enough to stop the drippy drippy.
