just spit balling here because im stupid and forgot to leave the rear tires in the air after swapping my pads, but is it possible to bleed the brakes with the tires still off? i dont see why not it just might be a little tight. i will probably end up taking the wheels off bc i might be doing this after sundown, but just thought i would get yalls perspective

 

I would not attempt it. Lets just say I tried it on a car and the clear coat on the rims didnt like the brake fluid too much lol.

 

Yeah, take the wheels off. It will save you time & headaches not to mention having to worry about getting brake fluid on your rims and tires which can be dangerous. Having the wheels off also makes cleaning up afterwards a lot easier.

Good luck...

 

didnt even think about that thanks for reminding me. ill be taking the rims off then.

 

yeah i wish i would have thought of that at the time. good luck

 

read the title as "bleeding brakes with heels on"

came in hoping for some sexy female bleeding her brakes with heels on, left somewhat disappointed.

anyway, i would take the wheels off
