R&R rt. front caliper & hose

[Jeff S.]

Will I need to 'bench bleed' my m/cylinder after removing/replacing the right front caliper & it's flex hose? All other connections will remain intact.

Power brake car; original m/cyl, so no bleeder valves. I do have a Motive pressure bleeder to employ for system bleeding after the replacement ... wondering if it would be advisable or necessary to to bench bleed master. (DOT 5 fluid).

Thanks in advance.

Jeff:

No additional bench bleeding should be necessary unless the reservoir is dry AND you have pumped the brake pedal to introduce air into the MC piston area.
