Just something to interject here,,, before you go pushing your pads back away from the rotors make sure the level of brake fluid is low enough in the reservoir to not leak out on to the paint !! It will trash most paint jobs in a hurry !
If you have to remove any fluid I use a vet syringe, but be sure and clean it before use. Don't put the used fluid back in the reservoir when done , use new fluid. Be careful and don't take out more than necessary or you might be bleading your system !
Also if you have the cover off doing anything with the fluid replace the cover before you push back the pads so the fluid won't squirt out. When done use Dot 5 fluid.
Also if you use a brake cleaner spray don't get this on the paint either !
I just didn't see anything about this in the instructions, and I would hate to see an expensive paint job trashed !!
Work clean !! Ride safe !!
