I always thought that the togetherness of interacting with the wife was the
important part of brake bleeding!

Subject: Brake caliper

Thanks everyone for their help this weekend with the frozen caliper.  It's
definitely dead.  Looking over the old receipt, that one was a rebuilt one
and the passenger side was a new one.  I have a list member sending me 2
good used calipers that I hope will work out.   This will be the first time
I've ever bled brakes so I might need some handholding this week when I
attempt it.  I bought a bleeding kit that I hope will work better then
yelling at my wife from underneath the vehicle.   Removing the caliper looks
straightforward.  I see a sample in Ken's video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0NGUkfOg6w .

Thanks,
Bryan
