Good bye


You need to bleed if you replaced the wheel cylinders. If not then you need to adjust the new rear brakes. Maybe both.

:stoner :dunno

Seriously? You can't remember if you opened the bleeder screws and let it drip through a tube into a jar for a few hours, then put more brake fluid in the reservoir, or had someone repeatedly pumping the brakes while you talked to them while you opened/closed the bleeder screw and checked and filled the reservoir a few three times, or hooked up a vacuum bleeder to it and monitored/refilled the reservoir, and had a container full of old brake fluid to get rid of when you were done? :hmm

Yes, you need to bleed them. :thumb

Could be that they just need to adjust themselves. Also could be that the auto adjusters aren't any good, they strip out a lot. Try pulling your e-brake up about five clicks and see if they feel better. If so, then it's an adjustment problem.

Laughter...It is hard to determine who its safe to ride with just by looking at them. You have to engage them in conversation first...laughter.

I don't let ANYONE do my brakes and I have 4 vehicles. My wife loves my driving.
