I dont know. Im not certain about anything anymore. I drove the car today for the first time since the pads were replaced and the brakes are working fine now.... nice pedal and powerful braking. Also, the RR brake does not seem to be sticking at all now.... I dont smell it and the car will roll freely now, whereas before, it was held back a little.

For now its fine, but it may go bezerk again next time I drive it. I guess if so, I will replace the hose and rebuild the caliper. Seems cheaper to rebuild than to pay $85 for a new one?

Thanks!
