Swapping pads today but I also need to flush fluid, too. Do I do fluid first, then pads? Or could I do pads and fluids at the same time so I don't need to come back to each twice?

Anybody have a recommend process that is the most efficient when doing these two things at the same time?

I recommend doing pads first, because if you do fluid first and new pads are put in afterwards you'll have to suck fluid back out as the new pads will push the pistons further back requiring less fluid in the reservoir.

Also make sure you don't remove the pads while flushing the fluid, or you'll force the pistons out.

Appreciate it! I went this route, and it worked out well. I swapped pads yesterday and did the fluid today.
