Having a car where i have done nowt (nothing) with the breaks since i got it 6 months ago would i be wise to assume crud in calipers, if so would the wise man go buy himself a presure bleader and blead the brakes copiously (after all fluid is cheap...) to flush any crud out of the system. and in fact before changin pads flush the system via the nipple on a 'just in case' method to flush any crap out of the caliper there by removing the need to clamp the lines and possibly damage them..


just the musings of a probably derranged DIY mechanic...
