Thanks Rich.

Well, I'm familiar with bleeding the brake lines on my motorcycle... Any quirks when doing this on a truck?

Tom,
You don't need to remove the caliper, just bleed them on the vehicle.
You'll probably want to remove the wheels if for no other reason than ease
of getting to the bleeder valve. Unless they've change the design, there
should be a valve on the caliper. Are you familiar with bleeding brakes?

Do you need to remove the front wheels and/or the calipers to bleed the
break lines on a '98 Kota? Any helpful advice when doing this? I have a
small vacuum pump that should make this relatively simple to do.
TIA
Tom
