I clamp the hose and open the bleed nipple and then squeeze the piston in removing the old fluid in the caliper as a result.

Pads are now easy to remove and re-fit. then bleed through the new fluid......

Presumably Mark, you would first bleed that brake to get fresh fluid into the hose before you clamped it, and then squeeze the piston in to remove old fluid from the caliper, change the pads, and then re-bleed?

Any further forward on a date for the other thing I asked you about?
