Hi all, quick question, do you have to remove the wheels to get access to the brake bleeder nipple etc or is it just easier to get to with the wheels removed but you can still do the job with the wheels on but its more awkward etc?

Thanks

I would. Also make sure you bleed your brakes staring with the rear passenger side. A cheap vacuum brake bleeder helps a ton.

What do you feel you would be gaining by leaving the wheels on?
