Bleeding Brake Question

I'm getting ready to change my calipers and I'm wondering if there is any reason I can't change and bleed them one at a time?

Thanks,
Rob

When I change calipers I normally do a fill/bled on the bench prior to installing them on the car. This will take alot of the air out of the caliper and make bleding the brakes easier when everything is over with.

I dont see why you would want to change one, bleed one, change one, bleed one........ Seems like it would be easier to change them all then bled the entire system at once.

Thanks for the reply. We were almost done and only did one at a time. 3 of my jack stands grew legs and walked away and I didn't want to bleed them with the wheels on.

It worked out...

Isn't there a program in the ecm that automates the bleeding?

Not that I am aware of. We have used the 2012 Corvette bleed in a GM Tech II.
