Default Disassembling Brake Calipers??? HELP???

Need help disassembling brake calipers on 98' vette and need to know what you need to do when you put new ones back on such as bleeding the brakes and so forth.

The calipers is easy, just take off a couple bolts. Do a search in teck or check the sticky for brakes or bleeding etc. Be sure to put some lock tight back on the caliper bolts..don't think you need the tough stuff.

I decided to just paint the calipers on the rotor no need in removing anything that way i don't spend hours upon hours of bleeding brakes and removing bolts and cables.

Thanks for everything though, I might remove the entire set up later when I have enough money to powder coat the brake calipers.
