I posted back on 6/13 Need Help Low Peddle and recieved alot of help from other bricksters.The problem was that my right caliper that I bought (rebuilt)from NAPA Parts Store turned out to be mismatched caliper halves that I found out by a post from lucid(who I thanked).So when you buy any rebuilt calipers there is 2 punch marks on the bottom of a left and right side frount Girling caliper that show thay are matched.If 1 punch mark is on the top and the bleeder screw is on the bottom of the outer half and 1 is on the bottom of the inner half you are going to have mismatched caliper halves.You won't be able to bleed them.I returned the first one and thay gave me another which turned out to be a left side caliper(marked on box and tag as right)so I returned it today had a problem with the manager who i'm reporting to the corporate office because he just wouldn't except that there was a problem with the parts even after I showed him the mismatched halfs(that Girling put on the bottom of there calipers).I got my money back but no one should be treated as I was.I'm also contacting the rebuilder about there lack of quality work. Sorry for the run on but I wanted other bricksters to beware not just of NAPA but to check the rebuilt front calipers before you install them. Charlie
