Re: Bleeding the brakes
One thing comes to mind... spend the money and get a brake bleeder kit.
You know that thing that pulls the fluid through so you don't have to
pump the brake. I've heard that by pumping the brake (to bleed), you can
over-extend the pistons in your wheel or brake cylinder. Better safe,
than sorry.
