Please state the problem again. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Then just re bleed the brakes Last edited by HealthServices; 03/15/09 05:54 PM.

Tighten screw. assemble brakes. Bleed brakes Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
