I change my fluid every brake change and releasing pressure at the bleeder is easy since im going to change it anyway.
One of the old calipers wouldn't fully retract, but the new caliper and Hawk HPS pads wouldn't go over that new rotor. I actually had the rotor turned down some so it would slide over. But since then the brakes don't fully release...either side. In a bit I'm about to go out and check the rear wheels ability to free wheel. I haven't changed the brakes back there yet.
