I am looking to powercoat my calipers. i know how to remove them by removing the caliper bolts and removing the brake cable and capping them, but my question is when i re-install them back, do these brakes bleed just like any regular brembos or do i need the PIWIS computer hooked up to bleed the brakes?

these cars are so finicky that you need a computer for everything. want to do it correct and not throw any codes.

thanks,
Luis

 

They will bleed like regular brakes. Nothing special needed.

 

I concur. It's a straightforward job.

 

Just don't let the reservoir go low.

 

thanks for your help

 

I just bled my brakes using motive wet method...the master cylinder doesn't hold that much...easier just to fill motive with fluid and not have to mess with it,,,easy clean up too.

 

I am wanting to PC my brakes as well. Is it difficult to remove the calipers?

 

My DIY brake pad removal post shows how to remove the caliper.

Thank you!!!
I am having my calipers painted Mexico Blue :-)

 

Post up pictures when you do!

This Tech Article is relevant to your question, as the ABS system does not need to be bled unless working on the hydraulic unit. ABS would require the scan tool. I do advise against the vacuum method. That method does not work well once the system has already been opened. Use the pressure bleeding method.
