Hi Mike,

SocalSam was suggesting to bleed the MC, not the calipers... my questions for MC bleeding were 2 posts back,
I 'll try and bleed the MC (one input line and 4 output lines at MC).

Input MC must be done with the accumulator under pressure, guess ...And probably so is the rest of the 4 out lines done (with the accumulator under pressure).

But I wanted to ask again if this is correct to be done with the key in position 2 (before engine start which runs the el pump).
There could be a lot of fluid be sprayed around.... a potential mess... I can imagine.


For the calipers I totally agree. They are a bad design if they fail that early but what can we do. Changing them is the only safe cure.
And I don't know if they contribute to soft brakes or if these are unrelated issues.

Best, Martin
