Hi

Got to ask a silly question. Do you have enough freeplay on the MC? You could test the boygenius theory by getting the system hot again and then release the line at the caliper and see if there is any pressure in the system.

Raybestos BAF-12 Hydraulic Brake Cylinder Assembly Fluid.

Worked like a charm !

I had checked everything.

Hoses, Freeplay everything.......

Then I called one of my mechanic buddies he suggested the BAF-12.


I took the calipers off, took the smallest jewellers screwdriver I could find.

Then worked my way around the seal, pulling it away from the piston a bit..put a squirt of BAF-12....working all the way around all 4 pistons on each caliper.....time consuming..

but!

Then worked the pistons in and out a bit - reassembled the whole thing and voila!

Works great.

Just took the car out for a run...did a few hard stops..a few extended stops..

It all works as it should.

Thanks everyone for their help !!

Dan
