I just wonder if I need do this step. About six months ago I paid a garage to install new front rotors, calipers, etc. and they suggested that the rears needed attention as well. I wanted some professional eyes on the brakes instead of just my own and I was willing to pay for it.

I decided that I could handle the rears and thus the situation I find myself in at the moment. I am thinking that the system would have been properly flushed at that time.

I suppose that some detritus could be flushed back into the system when the pistons are pushed back into the cylinder and that could call for bleeding and I think I have a way of pressuring the system that I found on an English car website several years ago. I know that pushing the brake pedal to the floor can cause problems with the master cylinder and so will avoid that.

Regardless, thanks again for all of your input.

Bob
