Well, after 2 new calipers, 4 hoses, 2 caliper lines, master cylinder, retapping spindle, and 8 hours on a short stool, I declare my brakes fixed. Took it out this weekend put 200 miles on it, drove it easy drove it hard and the brake light stayed off and they feel real tight. Thanks to everyone that helped with their time and knowledge. 2tonevette1981 2008-05-10 22:43:21

Congrats, Ed!! I bet you feel a lot better now!
Of course, now you'll need a new project to work on!

Great job Ed. Keep them safe and then find another project is what I try to do.
