    Ony my 575M, I guess same for 550 and 456:

    I want to remove my brake calipers to inspect and clean them, and the area around. I understand I have to undo the brake hard line at the back. Does anyone know what dimensjons the (F) feed line and caliper end has? I guess I have to find something that fits to block them both off while they are off, so I don't make a total brake fluid mess, or get water in the caliper or line.

    u can unbolt the calipers from the bracket and move the caliper around w/o undoing the brake line.

    that should allow you access to do some cleaning w/o having to bleed the brakes, etc

    I assume it is an M10. Pretty standard size for brake components.
