Default Front brakes

Stupid question, do I need to bleed the rear brakes after changing the front calipers?

Cheers jason

I would, just because you should be 100% sure when it comes to brakes...

There is a small chance that the rear lines have not got any air in them, but its better to be safe than sorry

it's not linked on the abs side of things so you shouldn't need to

but, whenever i've done brakes, i've always bled out all the calipers just because you've got the kit out so you may as well run some fresh fluid through them to avoid any potential fade issues later on
