I have a 2 page list with components and wrench sizes to expedite the process. Takes about 45 min or so on my C5Z but it is time well spent.
I've been doing that with the bridge bolts in the calipers, sway bar end links, and a few other things already. It's easy because I swap pads for track events anyway, so I'm already in there. I just never thought to add bleeders to the list, but that will definitely change after last Tuesday!
