Brake caliper problem

[cda951]

Many owners have said that the pedal gets firmer when they installed new brake hoses. The Goodridge hoses are popular and reasonably priced. Installing them takes a little planning and care to make sure that sections of hard pipe don't drain out as you fiddle with the connections. I try and do them one-by-one, and use a short section of vacuum hose with a hemostat clamp as a cap on the steel line. I later found some bulk bleeder caps that do an OK job.

A neat trick to prevent constant dripping of brake fluid while the system is open is to use something to depress the brake pedal about 3/4"-1"----press the brake pedal slowly until you find the point where the master cylinder cup seals block both of the inlet ports from the brake fluid reservoir, and the fluid will no longer drip out.
