Dumb Brake question

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

There are no dumb questions, except maybe these. Is there any tubing still
on there? Maybe a crimped steel line? Did you crack the bleeder? Did you try
lubing up the seals with brake fluid? Do you have the piston cocked in the
bore?

Good luck,

Rick Alexander
