Nicely done! I was informed that it's a good idea to check if the brake fluid reservoir is overfilled in which case you should remove the cap and drain some otherwise there's going to be excess pressure in the brake fluid system when you push the calipers in to fit new pads. Ever had issues with this?
There is zero pressure inside the cylinder reservoir, the pressure is created inside the rest of the braking system with the piston in the master cylinder is pushed into the system thus compressing all of the fluid and creating braking pressure/force If it’s too full and you rewind then yes it can overflow but if it’s at the maximum mark I’ve never had to do that 👍🏽 you can also pump the brakes after each corner which will lower the fluid level

Awsome! Thanks!!
No problem!
Thanks for the video. I might have a crack at the job one day! Looks scary!
If you do I’m here to help!
