Did you check the disc for run out? Also check and make sure the caliper moves easily in it's bracket. Was it easy to bleed? If not, the line could be blocked at the proportioning valve. -- ..boB 1997 HD FXDWG - Turbocharged! 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1966 FFR Cobra - Ongoing project |

Use flarenut or line wrenches whenever possible on hose fittings. The knuckles you save, and the fittings also, just may be your own. :-) On the non-caliper side of the hose is usually a clip holding the hose in place and a double flare connection to a hard line going back to the MC. No copper washer on that side AFAIK. I use both Metric and SAE flarenut wrenches to work on my 88' Bird and my 00'GT. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert |
