As easy as it is to bleed them, save the $10. It's a one man job. Just get your tube hooked good, make sure your bottle won't fall over, and pump away. The lever is less than 3 feet away from the caliper!

Not sure I understand... The only problem is that the piston is out of the caliper right?
I would think all you would have to do is just clamp the caliper to push the piston back in to slide it back over the pads.. Unless I'm missing somethin..

 Other end into a bottle of the correct and new brake fluid... pump pump pump pump till you don't get any more bubbles in the bottle. Then tighten the bleeder and check for pressure. |

It's pretty simple to bleed and replace brake fluid. First time takes a while but after that the hardest part is getting the fairing off.

Why do you need to take the fairing off to bleed brakes?
