and THEN

I goto bleed the brakes with my powerbleeder, only to realize that the cap's the wrong size....

I feel for you.

The brake work on the SDL has been ongoing for nearly one year!!

Did the front calipers and rotors and flushed the entire system.

Then one of the rear calipers developed a leak and I rebuilt it and changed pads in the back.

Then the second rear caliper developed a leak and I rebuilt that and changed pads again on that side (one pad was history after 10K).

Somewhere along the line, the rear rotors were also changed.

Now, the RR brake line is leaking where I replaced the caliper.

And, the m/c is "soft". It will slowly head for the floor on very heavy pressure.

Nothing but brake misery on this vehicle........amazing.
