Default Replacing C6 calipers

Want to do this myself. Will I necessarily need a Tech II bleeding? (Replacing lines too)

No. A Tech2 bleed is only to pulse the ABS pump if you get air in it. Since you're way down stream of there you're only concerned with the air in the caliper.

(BTW, I live in Farmington too.)

I bleed all the time without bleeding the ABS pump on our C5Z & C6Z, and I just changed out the calipers on our C5Z to the AP Racing T1 set, bled the system and have had no trouble. Eventually as you get into ABS enough times the fluid will mix and you'll bleed it out... naturally.

Rebuilt and replaced numerous calipers and always bleed in between events and have never had an issue
