I have a 1968 144 that needs front G calipers. One seems original with broken off bleeder screws. Cups look iffy so I might just replace the caliper. Looks to be a pain to get the bleeders out. The other caliper doesn't seem all that bad. Might have been replaced before. All bleeders ok on that one. Cups look really clean as well.

On the bleeding process the Haynes manual say to remove switch element from brake warning valve. I found that. Does fluid come out when you remove it? I also noticed no wire attached to element. Anyone know where that wire comes from so I can see if I can find it. No wiring diagram in Haynes manual. Recall seeing one in owners manual. Guess I can check there.
