[QUOTE="roger dodger, post: 882519, member: 18173"] After long-term weak rear brake...a tech suggested elevating the caliper when doing the deed. Yesterday I swapped tires, and with the rear wheel removed, we raised the caliper, and banged on it w/ a rubber mallet. I got 2 HUGE (1 inch+) bubbles out of the line. Now the rear is hard as can be (hope it holds) and the fluid is clean. Keep in mind that you need a spare rotor to do this elevated w/o the tire. Also I have non-ABS and speedbleeders which make things easier....but still....air rises to the top! ;) [/QUOTE]
