I had this problem too, and I thought it was sticky calipers. I got another set of calipers and took my right front caliper off to replace it. I was all ready with a piece of plastic and rubber band to block the line when I pulled it out of the caliper, but lo and behold, when I disconnected the line, nothing came out! Turns out the hose was partially blocked, even though it looked great from the outside, so I replaced it. End of problem. -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) San Diego, California, USA '73 Capri GT 2800 (Da Beast) e-mail: des@teleport.com '87 Mustang Lx 5.0 (Da Sleeper) http://www.teleport.com/~des '93 Weber WG-50 (Da Piano) ============================================================================
