Brake Job Question
Im doing a rear brake/ebrake job here soon, and was wondering if that I remove the 2 rear calipers, and replace them with new ones, do I have to bleed all 4 wheels? Or can I just bleed the 2 calipers that I disconnect? I have ABS BTW. Thanks!

You only need to bleed the rear brakes, unless you let the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir drop too low so air gets in the system that way.
But, this would be a good opportunity to flush out all the old brake fluid, so doing all four wheels makes sense. You probably won't see any air bubbles coming out from the front brake lines, just the old fluid you are getting rid of.

Good. Thats what I wanted to hear. The brake fluid in there is only about 5 months old, because I disconnected all of the lines at the ABS brain when I did my 5spd conversion, and I bled 4 brakes then.
