So, say you find out the left or right front is getting more or less pressure? Then what? Not as easy as setting bias front to rear.

I'd set the balance bar full front and compare left to right. Then do the same for the rear. Never used it to actually adjust F-R bias. The brake lines were always getting smashed by rocks... hard to tell by looking at them if they were good, so I'd check pressure one corner at a time while someone applied the brake.

Air anywhere in the front system will affect both calipers.

Good advise to check the pads. Wouldn't hurt to lap them on sandpaper too while they're out.
