but if you install "wet", you can get fluid all over the place - your
workbench, not just your car. installing dry, then bleeding at the line
connections ensures that all bleeding is controlled, and minimizes air
that has to be bled through the rest of the system, particularly
relevant for abs.
indeed, i've replaced cylinders like this and not had to do the rest of
the system at all. not standard practice of course, but it is possible
if the brake lines don't empty, and they won't if the caliper bleeds
aren't opened. try it - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
