Another word about my--original poster--caliper problem: They are not leaking or pulling to one side. The right front will not bleed correctly, it's as if there's some stoppage in front of the bleeder valve. My brother and I got most of the air out through several attempts with a pressure bleeder, but we didn't get it all out. Maybe I just need to dismantle and clean, but I figured while I was in that far it could use a rebuild or rebuilt.
