not safe to drive without bleeding. why dont you just mask everything off and release them from the pads, support them from the springs with some string and spray them in the arch. aslong as you mask everything off it will be fine, and wont need to disconnect the brake hose. then put it back on pads when its touch dry and leave it for a day or so before you go out.________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |
