leathermang, I was afraid someone would say that. There were no instructions. Later I realized this was odd as my ATE rotors, caliper seal kit and pads all came with instructions. Additionally, I had never received a receipt from this guy listing exactly what I had bought, just email notification of money spent. So, I called him up and nicely asked for an invoice, which I got which may come in handy if there is recourse to be had.

I had read about bench bleeding and asked my indy about it. They seemed to be indifferent about it and said to bolt it on, fill with fluid, pump pedal several times, then bleed.

Now what?

Thanks

Brake fluid should NEVER be in the booster.......it will shorten its life.....but no you are right it will not effect pedal drop now.
