Is it necessary to take rear caliper off in order to bleed ? I have heard some say that it is not required to remove them. Using the pump brake and hold , release valve to let air out then close and repeat . Will you still need to take caliper off in order to have the bleed valve up ? If so, can the caliper be removed without removing the rear wheel ?
Different bike but same principle my 996 rear caliper was removed recently with the wheel in place for the above actions
If the bleed nipple is at the top of the calliper it shouldn’t be necessary to take the calliper off but if it’s at the bottom you may have to resort to it
