Zach, I forgot to mention... You probably want to "bed" your e-brake at least a bit. Cruise at 30mph and pull the ebrake gently as you ease off the gas. The the rotor surface making contact with your e-brake shoes still are coated with that oily crap. Regardless, we may very well have tweaked your e-brake. Nothing an adjustment can't fix, IMO. Does the brake pedal still feel spongy? I really hope we tightened all the lines well-enough. It surprises me that the pedal was spongy because the bleeding went picture-perfect. Anyway, let us know. Hopefully the brakes were just faded due to the crazy bedding. I just came in from a 4-hour power-washing session and I am exhausted. I'll upload the pics in a couple of hours. OT: How on earth Nick works on his car on khakis is truly beyond me. Zach and I were filthy as can be. |

Yes, we were truly filthy. Good thing neither of us has white leather. |

Just keep an eye out for any leaks and check the reservoir level over the next couple of weeks. If there is a leak, you can definitely see it (the connections will look wet). All the connections should be bone-dry within a week or so. They do take a few days to "dry." |
