Re: brake bleeding, best way??? 200 84

Bruce:

I like your first approach best. The idea of having the new calipers seeing only fresh fluid makes sense. Plus, I wouldn't think you'd need to open the rears back up to bleed again after the new front calipers are installed.

Given the age of your vehicle, I'd take a close look at the rubber flex hoses while I had things apart. The ones on my '85 245 were starting to go when I replaced them last year. They get sort of spongy and bulging out a bit at the ends where the metal fittings attach.
