ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

      There could be air in the lines (which requires bleeding), there could be a leak on the master cylinder (which requires a swap and bleeding), or a seal on one of the caliper pistons went bad (which requires either a caliper swap or a rebuild, then bleeding). Bleeding is easiest done with 2 people BTW, and make sure to start at the wheel FARTHEST from the master cylinder and work towards it (ie. the rear passenger, then the rear driver side, etc.).

        Just as a note cause this happened to my car. If you have bleed your brake good knows how many times and your brake pedal is still low. ( not like all the way to the floor but an inch or so lower than norm) Pull your caliper off and check the slider pins. I failed inspection twice cause of it. Just though I'd throw that in there.
