Hi, so this spring I want to flush my brake lines with new fluid with a motive or vacuum bleeder. I have a service pit in my home's garage like this:



I have the base brakes with the OEM 18" wheels.

Wondering if you all who have done this before think it is possible to access the bleed nipples on the calipers from the service pit without having to jack the car up and remove wheels.

I don’t think it would be possible with the wheels on. Even if it was, you’d save time by just taking the wheels off.
