In preparing for the brake fluid replacement/bleeding that I plan on doing in a few weeks, I went poking around to see what I was up against. I noticed that on the wheels with brake pad wear sensors, that the wire is attached (as a support) to the brake bleeder in a way that it covers where the wrench would go. Does that just pull off? I tried to pull it off as I did the rubber bleeder caps, but they didn't come off with the same force. So rather than force them off (which may be ok), I am asking here how is the best way to remove them to get to the nut to do the brake bleeding. Thanks in advance.

 

Pull...it easily comes off. Buy a Motive Brake Bleeder with the Mini cap for about $50 and learn how easy brake bleeding can really be.

 

Thanks 95Viper! I did order a Motive Bleeder and 2 more jack stands. I am going to buy BMW brake fluid to not have warrantee problems since my MSC is only 10 months old.
