You are right, it was a piece of cake, but now I have another problem. When I was compressing the calipers down my brake fluid reservoir overflowed and now my brake pedel is mushy. It takes a lot of pedal travel to engage the brakes and my fluid reservoir is full to the top. A friend of mine said this would go away with some easy driving. Is that true?
Thanks for your help.
Before you get carried away with bleeding the brakes (probably a good idea anyway), you may want to double check that the retaining clips on the pads are properly installed. It is easy to not install them correctly and if they are not installed correctly, you may have a low and mushy brake pedal.
Don't ask me how I know, but let's just say that experience can be a very tough instructor (like a Marine drill seargent).
