Quote: Paint stir stick between the new pads (same thickness as rotor), caliper is hanging currently and lever held tight by tying it down. Here are my questions: - Do I leave the resevoir cap on or off? - Is the caliper OK to hang overnight by the brake hose or should I alleviate some tension via zip tie or otherwise? - Should I use that anti brake squeal stuff and if so where (Ive never used it on my cars so I have no thoughts on it)?
- On if you're not doing anything with it. If you're bleeding it leave it off so you can monitor the fluid level and add more as necessary. If you're just going to leave the caliper hanging for a little while, put the cap on and tie back the lever overnight. - yes - I never use it either.
