brakes on a del sol

[b16a3sol]

recently my car chose to start making a tapping noise by the wheel. i investigated it and decided that there is something trapped between the brake rotor and the shield on the back side of the rotor. my question is if i take off the caliper without doing anything to it other than moving it to take the rotor off to remove whatever is rattling, will i need to bleed the brakes when i am done? or, can i simply move the caliper aside, remove the rotor then replace everything and call it a day? thanks for the help.

You will only need to bleed the brakes if you remove the lines and allow air to get into the system.

thats what i thought too, but my manual told me bleeding the system was part of the removal and installation, so i decided i better check. thanks for the help.
