Default if i unbolt the master cylinder

Do i have to bleed my brakes?
I need to take out my alternator, no clearance at all in any angle to remove from bottom, so the mc might be my best option, other than removing the manifold.

Only need to bleed if you open the hydraulic fluid lines.
If you are just unblolting from the brake boosterish you do not need to bleed anything.

theres space to pull out over the axle. you just have to unbolt the bottom bracket.

if you have a swap, then maybe you dont have space.

if you have some coilover that limits the droop, just unbolt the bottom bolt of the shock fork.

Idk but my alternator does not clear from the bottom, the axle gets in the way. I ended up unbolting the mc, but also had to remove the fuel rail for extra clearance.

If a D15B2, alternator is removed through wheel well. Remove wheel, remove mud flap in wheel well. Disconnect alternator, drop to bottom, go to wheel well and grab alternator and remove through hole.
