For the most part i have a good grasp on most things, just not this particular car.... yet. That being said the halves of the caliper did get separated by me removing the 4 bolts. I didn't look at any manuals i just went for it.
Much better.

Ok, you have some skills. You have to remove the caliper.Put it on a bench. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the caliper halves together. There is an o-ring between the halves that you have to inspect to see if it got damaged. IF it's damaged, you have to replace it. Now here's the bad part. There is ONLY one place that has the o-ring. That is Z1, and you have to buy the caliper rebuild kit to get it. Once you get the caliper back together and installed on the car. You might be able to just bleed that caliper. Start with the inside bleeder first. Then the outside bleeder. DO NOT let the reservoir go dry. If you do. You might have to bleed all 4 brakes.

I don't remember the bolt torque for the caliper bolts off the top of my head. They're not easy to find in the manual. There is a thread on it tho.

Make sure the reservoir is topped off when you are done. If not. you will get dash lights.
