Stan,

Blow the patient off so the HMO will give you a big kickback at the end of
the year and go to Hooter's instead after some links...

I don't have first hand experience with this (yet), but I noticed in the
Bentley that the 80-85 caliper piston needs to be aligned with the damping
plate.  See page 46.4 for a poor-contrast photo!  Other issue could be a
crusty, binding piston which isn't recessing fully?

I say not yet in my case because our 85 squeaks badly; especially when
backing up.  I need to do bearings too and planned on doing the whole
enchilada like you.  If you can't figure yours out, I guess I'll blow mine
off then.

HTH,

John Haddad
