2003 BMW K1200GT w/ I-ABS Integral brakes
Due to the ineptness of a service technician at a major BMW dealer (who’ll remain nameless), I now have to re-route the rear caliper rear brake line to keep it from rubbing against the rear brake master cylinder reservoir feed line. In order to do this, I have to disconnect the rear brake line (replaced with stainless steel a few years back) at the rear brake caliper thus introducing air into the system which necessitates a rear brake bleed. My question is this: Will a simple bleed of the rear brake reservoir out through the rear brake line and caliper bleed nipple to expel the air be enough or will I have to then also bleed the ABS unit as well to ensure all air is expelled? Six months ago I did the whole brake system flush (wheel circuits,etc.) which is tedious. I’m trying to prevent having to do it again with this re-routing. What do the forum masters familiar with this model have to say?
