Ok listen, i managed to do this today successfully, but heres the scenario.
My ridiculous motorcycle has two calipers and a total of 8 pistons operating 8 pads...on the front only...controled by one lever and connected to the same lines.
I was compressing the pistons to find that when i compressed one, the others would open up. so i put shims in the caliper, then the ones on the other caliper would open up as i compressed them lol
I ended up opening the bleeder valve to compres them, then i bled the lines and added fluid after replacing the pads.
So this is the question, how the heck do you compress 8 pistons at the same time without bleeding out fluid?
