How much bleeding after Caliper change?

I'm just in the process of changing the front discs, pads and calipers and was wondering how much of the bleeding sequence I'll need to do after?

I plan on wedging the brake pedal down and also putting some plastic over top of the reservoir before I start.

Just clamp the flexible hose that feeds the caliper.
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Clamp the hose, next to no bleeding required then.

1 litre will change the whole system, which is probably what you should do if the fluid hasn't been changed recently and working on the fronts

I would never clamp a hose personally. Risk of internal - invisible - damage is too high IMHO.

Then bleed the brakes using the IID tool's bleed feature at the same time changing all the fluid - unless it was done in the last few months. It should be changed every 2 years anyway.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one expecting "knuckle damage woe" story in this thread. Confused

Thanks chaps Thumbs Up

I did clamp the hose and put plastic over the reservoir so I had minimum loss! Maybe tomorrow or one day very soon I'll be changing the flexible hoses all round so I was happy to clamp the old!
