quick question about rear disc bleeding
do you have to do anything special with the e-brake? Just wondering cause of the wierd design. I bled it a few times with the e-brake off, and as soon as you have my brother let off the brake pedal you can see the caliper relase ( wheel off) and i think it release's to far or something cause there is probably a 1/16" to 1/8" gap between EACH pad and the rotor. on a test drive they stop straight and when they get pressure (last inch of pedal travel) you can tell they are grabbing GREAT, a lot betteer than before, just wasting 3/4 pedal travel compressing air. So does that goofy e-brake design have anything to do with it?
Thanks

Don't mess with the e-brake when bleeding, it should have nothing to do with it. Leave it released.
