1973 2.0 with dual bleaders, drivers side is leaking a very small amount off the spring/ebrake lever. I have wiped all surfaces and checked the top feeder and they all appear to be dry. I don't know these rear units very well but is there a seal in those ebrake/levers area?
Restoring the car so all calipers were re-built with standard kits. New brake lines, the works. Dave |

You may be better at rebuilding brakes than I am. But after failing once on a rebuild and getting a crashed car, it is hard to justify doing it yourself. I know my brakes are far better after adding PMB calipers. There are many here that will tell stories of just what a great job PMB does. Cheap? No but hard to justify saving some money when you are placing your car and life on the line.

I'm pretty good and have success in the past BUT I have not taken it down to the level at getting to the adjustment screw seal. Guess it's time to check it out. |
