just as the title says. does anyone have instructions on how to remove calipers and rotors and then bleed the brake lines to replace the old brake fluid with new? thanks.

take wheel off
calipers are held on by 2 14mm in the rear and 17mm in the front
rotors usually just pop off, if not use a 10mm bolt inside the rotor holes on the front and turn them til the rotor pops off
bleeding brakes, rear passenger side. have someone pump the brakes 3 times and hold. use a bleeder hose on the caliper nipple and a open end 8mm wrench and turn to release fluid, tighten. release brakes. repeat twice. repeat on all sides..start farthest from reservior.

if replacing all fluid, just bleed one side til all the fluid is gone.
