nono you are NOT bleeding the brakes, this is AFTER you bled the brakes, it
set the adjustement for the ebrakes.

=>Man.......I always end up regretting the fact that I did not check the
=>Bentley first.  On a side note my Bentley got soaked on my garage
=>floor this
=>winter.  It is now twice as thick extra soft and has some
=>interesting colors
=>to it.  It gives it character and makes it a better seat cushion.
=>
=>Also I guess this procedure explains why there is what looks like
=>a bleeder
=>hole on the back of the caliper...I assume there will be fluid
=>coming out of
=>it as I do this
=>
=>thanks for the help!!

=>alright, Bentley explains how to SET your ebrakes afetr a caliper
=>change but
=>here is the short version
=>
=>press on brake pedal, cranks up and down the hand brake until the pedal
=>drops down (it will or should) when it does, let the peal go and presss on
=>it again, crank the hand brake again... should set the ebrake in
=>about 8-12
=>repetitions.
=>
=>it is normal for the ebrakes btw to be "loose" , bentley says pump hand
=>brake 40 times...lol
=>
=>and yes I have had a new reman caliper that provided no ebrake (A1 brakes)
=>before... rather frustrating , still have one ebrake that
=>works..lol I need
=>to swap the caliper one day.

=>=>I have done some more investigation and have some more
=>questions about my

=>warranty from
=>=>the local Advance Auto Parts  I removed the cables from the
=>=>brakes and they
=>=>move fine so the cables are not the issue.  I then removed the return
