Default Removing IS350 Font Calipers
I'm about to remove my front calipers and get it painted my question is once i put my caliper back on do i need to bleed the break line or i can just blot everything back on?

Of course you have to bleed them man! You've just introduced air into the system so you definitely have to bleed them when you attack the lines back on again.

Anytime the lines are open you have to bleed them.
