There should be no reason to open the valves when you change the pads. If you find this to be helpful, it means that your rubber hoses are blocked and they aren't allowing the fluid to flow back into the system. Or it might be caused by your MC not being allowed to return fully (sticky or misadjusted pedal.) Each of these is a serious problem and should be fixed quickly. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
