I'll be installing these soon I hope. Is it necessary to bleed your calipers or at least fill 'em with fluid before re-fastening the brake line?
I normally don't. I usually open the bleeders then start filling the resevoir. Many times the gravity will let the fluid drain.
Either way bleeding them can be a challenge sometimes. Braided lines usually makes them bleed easier.

I finished installing my Tokico 4-pots and new Spiegler SS lines. I bled the system and the lever felt pretty good. The problem is the brakes are dragging badly. I loosened a couple of banjo bolts and then re-tightened and a bit of fluid came out but nothing major like there was a pressure buildup or anything. Anyway, they are still dragging. I verified that the calipers are centered on the rotors. I did a total rebuild of these calipers. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Buster. It's constant dragging.
I don't have the greatest eyes when it comes to seeing if they're square on the rotor. Any tips?
