| 2009-10-07 | Jim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Bill, Thanks for the response. I will have to disassemble the master cylinder again and drill out the hole but it will save me buying a used one to see the difference. I did check the caliper before reinstalling it to make sure it retracted easily before I put the new pads on and the pistons slid back in very easily so I had no concerns about the caliper. Again thanks, you've been a life saver!!!!!!!!!!!! |
