Nah, you really only need to bleed 'em if you disconnect them. So long as you don't do that, you're good to go. Hell, you can even replace the rotors without needing to bleed 'em. They make special hangers just to hold up the calipers but most people use a bungee cord or a coat hanger or something. So long as you don't disconnect the calipers, you're good to go. Or the piston thingy if you're doing drum brakes. Man, drum brakes suck. They're still using them in some applications.

I have a drum brake on the rear of my motorcycle and I do know I had to adjust it near the end of the adjustment lines on there, so I think I may have to replace the shoes in there this fall or next spring. I am not looking forward to that

Take pictures as you're taking it apart. Trust me - even my guys do that. Don't just take a picture - make sure it's as clear a picture as you can. Spray that shit down with brake cleaner so that you can see everything clearly and it's unrealistic to take too many pictures along the way, you simply can't take too many pictures.

This will save you a whole lot of frustration.

Some of my non-modified older cars have period correct brakes. if I daily drove them, I'd definitely convert them to disk brakes.

They just took it for a ride to test it and it works just fine, But yeah, taking pictures as you take it apart is a great idea
