Re: [DML] Re: Front Rotor Replacement

[elvisnocita@xxxx]

Dave, 
have you ever had the calipers reworked and the pistons were taken out ?
The cylinder showing to the outer side of the calipers must be bleeded
carefully.
If there's some air inside it won't get out by regular bleeding !
I suggest to take out only the outer brake pad, pump the piston out, push
back in,
put the brake pad back in and bleed again. Now there should be more brake
fluid
in the cylinder and the air will be pushed to the inner cylinder which now
can be bleeded.

Another suggestion is to use a better brand brake pads. 10$ items should be
thrown away...

Hope this helps a bit

Elvis
