In this condition the only way you'll get them out will be to remove one at a time by connecting the caliper to the brake line and pumping it out with the MC. This will take a LOT of time and a LOT of brake fluid. You'll also need to create some way to block the first one in there while you pump the secone one out. I don't have my jigging ready to do this in my basement yet. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
