I changed out my rear pads/rotors/calipers. About 3 tablespoons of fluid came out out of each side. Now, while I was changing out the last side my landlord came up and said "No working on cars allowed in the parking lot." (not on lease agreement btw)
My plan was to change everything out today then next weekend have a buddy come down and bleed the brakes with me. Now since that is not an option any more, what will happen if i start it up and drive a few miles to bleed out the brakes?
The Master cylinder never got low so we are only dealing with the fluid lost and the new empty calipers.
Car is 02 gt 5-speed
Calipers are stock replacements/rotors are power slots/pads are hawk.
I understand the brake pedal might go easily to the floor and I will keep an eye on the master cylinder after I first start it and press on the pedal a few times. If any air got in the line can it travel back up the system or should i be ok for a couple miles?
Thanks,
