Agree! High school auto mech teacher would ride our butts if we pushed that fluid behind the piston back up into the break lines. We had to put a wrench on the bleeder, pop a small hose on the bleeder and into a coke bottle. Open the bleeder and pushed the piston back into the caliper, and the fluid behind the piston would escape out of the bleeder and into the coke bottle. Tighten up the bleeder as the piston bottoms out. Was amazed at how cloudy the fluid in the coke bottle looked. You then could look at the fluid in the coke bottle and check for rust or metal particles or ??? Of course in high school we were working on cars that were daily drivers that ran through deep puddles and snow and salt. Not something most of us do with our camaros.
