RE: Write up on brake pad change

Great instruction for the DIY'er. There are some members here that should really read that.

While cracking the bleeder will make it easier to push the piston in, I never do so. I loosen one of the caliper bolts and take the other out and swing the caliper out. This allows access with a C-clamp. You have to be really careful around those piston seals though as you pointed out.
