Brake question I was reading that a 98-02 F-body with Traction control brake system can't be bled without a scan tool?
The reason I'm asking is I'm about to do the brakes on my car. I'm intending to change out the front rotors only and leave the factory ones on the rear. Plus put new brake pads on all four corners. This means I have to remove the calipers on the front axle only.
If I don't losen the brake lines on the two front calipers when I go to replace the rotors, I shouldn't have a problem, right?
Just follow the instructions about using a C- clamp to depress the caliper piston for the new brake pads and drain off the brake fluid as it backs up in the master, right?

you shouldnt have to drain any brake fluid, just make sure the cap on your master cylinder is off when you're compressing the pistons.
you dont have to remove the lines, just take the calipers off. i would take the rears off and have them resurfaced for the new pads too. any grooves or heat marks need to be taken off.
