hey rr4e u r not exactly right about the bleeding the brakes once a year thing. u need to CHANGE ALL the brake fluid, not just bleed em. the moisture is in all the fluid including the reservour. i use a vacuum pump to empty the entire master cyl resv. then fill it with new fluid and bleed the wheels. that way u get all the old fluid and moisture out. i like my brake fluid when i can see the bottom of the resevrour through the fluid. i was giving the guy advice on how to change a caliper without getting a bunch of air in the system (line lock on the hose), you can bleed em anytime.
