DAKSY,
No, actually this was out of the blue...my earlier posts were about
replacing the rotors, pads, shoes, and possibly the drums...then I went back
to work not 10 minutes later and this happened! I have no idea how to bleed
the brakes as I'm VERY mechanically incompetent...where do I put the hose to
bleed the brakes and when will I know that they are good to go...I'm
assuming when nothing but brake fluid comes out and no air bubbles...right?
LOL...I'm sorry I really have no clue!!!!
Thanks for your help.
