You'll get big air bubbles. definitely have to blled when installing them, 'course, it'll be quick with speedbleeders...

Think about it though. You get air into the system when bleeding on the backstroke of the brake pedal. That's why you close the bleeder after the pedal is compressed. Yes, you are opening the system, but I'd like tosuggest that minimal if any air will enter while changing them out. If a little fluid dribbles out, it would be coming from the reservoir by gravity and if that is the case, no air will enter. I'd try it and remove the res. cap so that fluid can freely flow if it can. This is how I bled a hydrolic clutch once. Gravity bleed.

I fail to see the logic of raising the car and removing the wheels twice. Seems like a lot of extra work for nothing.

Shouldn't need much bleeding at all, though. I 'spect you'll spend maybe 10 more minutes actually bleeding them. Do it right the first time.

Its a time thing... I never have a lot of time to spare, just bits and pieces. I wanted to install maybe 2 today, and 2 later this week, and bleed this weekend.

But yeah, we'll see.... I figured it would be safe but I dont want to risk dieing if its not.
