Retraction 200

That's what my honest opinions are on the thing...I'm glad someone agrees with me anyways! If I still had air in that one chamber, wouldn't the pedal stiffen as I pumped it? It does not. And why, then, would all 4 lines being clamped produce a much stiffer pedal than the line which has the broken bleeder? I do not think I have any air left in the system...I have bled many times and if the chamber is truly a "U" as people (and bentley) say, I do not see how I could not have gotten all the air out by both turning the caliper sideways, banging on it with a mallot, and compressing the pison all the way to push air out. I'm going to remove the shims tonight and see where I end up. Thanks again everyone!
