Brake caliper removal question
Ok so you have the caliper with a braided hose to the adapter to the solid hose. When I undid the adapter the brake fluid was pissing out. Is there anyway of removing the calipers and not loosing a load of fluid? Any tips?
Cheers

I never lost an ounce of fluid when I took my calipers off
