I would think if its full enough that u have to do that you might wanna take the predation.

 

Maybe, but its a sealed system - that's how it makes pressure. You could have barely any oil in it, and it would still make pressure cuz the air has no where to go.

 

But it wouldn't hurt to have a towel handy

my parking brake works just fine but anyway u have to loosen the locknut then back bolt out a ways ....several turns should be enough but also as mentioned the slides on the caliper are likely hung up and will require service. with some light torch work and penetrating oil they usually free up but u should buy a rebuild kit before you start because the rubber seals are likely gonna be fubar ....another option is to buy a new or known good caliper just depends on youre resources and skills with a wrench
