About putting new brakes/calipers on my Squareback. Here's what I did on my day off yesterday. I did intend simply to replace the pads on both sides, and have the discs turned, if they really needed it. However, got the first side off OK, but had to take the caliper off to push the pistons in. The seals are a bit torn/rotten, but got them in anyway. On the second side, the piston is seized, but not totally, I think, so I couldn't get that one off (with a hammer, a screwdriver and a socket set, mainly due to the ridge on the outside of the disc), so now I'm driving around with half new, half old pads. It's working pretty well, too.... When I was bleeding the system afterwards, couldn't get any fluid out of the seized side. Does this mean there's a blockage? The system obviously isn't working perfectly, as I only get good pedal feel after pumping the pedal once. Any thoughts? Sonny '69 Squareback Auto
