When changing pads on a AU series 2 with ABS do I need to undo the caliper bleed nut be for pushing the brake piston back to install new pads. If I do should I clamp the brake hose leading to the caliper before undoing the bleed nut. Any advise would be appreciated.

No need to touch the bleed nipple at all. You only touch this if you're flushing/changing fluid, but of course you'd do this after the pad change.
You just push the pistons back in with a g-clamp. Use one of the old pads so you don't wreck anything. Too easy! GK

Undo your caliper from one end of the slides, then tilt it up, use G clamp 2 compress the piston. don't touch line or bleeder nipple.

If in doubt watch some youtubes, if still in doubt get a professional to do it.
