Rear venting clearance

Options

Setting Venting Clearance

After installing a rebuilt/new rear caliper, I set venting clearance:

Before adding fluid	[ 9 ]	[16.98%]
After adding fluid/bleeding	[ 31 ]	[58.49%]
Both before and after	[ 6 ]	[11.32%]
What's venting clearance?	[ 4 ]	[7.55%]
I'm Eric Shea and set venting clearance with my godlike ESP powers over brake systems. :)	[ 3 ]	[5.66%]
