What would happen if you pump the brakes with the caliper disconnected from the rotor:
That piston is coming out. Though my boot was already ripped.
Performance was good for a few days, till at lights I noticed my brake pedal going down, down down (like when bleeding brakes) Checked the reservoir, and it was low. Checked the wheel and brake fluid streams could be seen across the rims/tires. I tried to get it off right away, but the rim is tarnished.
Turned out it was the brake line. I missed this bubble
re-bled, and now the pedal is stiff again. almost right at the top.
I put the CL brake line on on that side, for some reason the banjo connection wouldn't go back into the caliper groove, so I changed the angle, skipped a bracket and used zip ties.
I want to get stainless brake lines eventually.
It was my cleanest rim
Caught the brake fever, and started spending money I shouldn't
After this I'll chill
