I dont think its necessary , when i refurbished my callipers, fitted braided hoses and emptied the master cylinder, I just filled the master with fresh fluid and bled it as normal, furthest first, then others, got a good pedal straight away, left it until next day and checked it again (no air& clean fluid) also fitted a servo brace as well. :clap: :clap:

The brakes on the F are old school. Chuck it in the car and do it once.

That's what I like to hear. No nonsense maintenance.
