I can understand you not wanting to take the liability of marking them yourself though.

I know OLD THREAD but same issue, same questions....
I just had 2012 Grand Sport Calipers Powder Coated
New Rubbers were installed and everything is Dry (back on the car)
I plugged Banjo fittings with Rubber Plugs and placed them in upward
vertical position while calipers were off
I used new copper washers
Ive bought a cheap Harbor Freight Vacumn Hand Pump Tool to
pull Fluid into calipers and out bleed screw fitting
When Im done should I expect to have to Bleed ABS system as Ive seen
with a Tech2 scan tool in Videos

If you don't get air in the ABS unit (make sure that the master brake tank never goes dry), then will not have to Cycle the ABS pump with a Tech II to get the trapped air out of the ABS pump/
Note, if you want to play crash test dummy, you can take the car to somewhere where you can lose traction under heavy breaking to kick the ABS system/pump in to play to cycle it enough to force the air out of the pump, then go back and re-bleed the lines since the air from the pump will be pushed into the lines.
