As you imagine they bled out and I've had to bleed the master cylinder. Problem is I still cant get fluid to the rear calipers. I can mity-vac the crap out of them but nothing but air comes in. I'm at a loss. Jim T. -------------------- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats".--H.L.

Works great on my Taurus. I have always had to use the pump the brakes technique.
