I'll press the piston in again on each side, might actually do all four pistons. Should I bleed before or after pressing the piston, think I should do it before to purge the line, but also to purge the junk that is held in the piston itself. Which is best. I am thinking that by pressing in the other side I might equalize something. I know on an older car from UK, there was a device like a check valve so if you lost all pressure on one diagonal, it would slide over and block the loss of fluid, thereby keeping the other diagonal in reserve for limp home braking. Believe it or not, that was on a TR-6, crude but apparently effective. regards, heading to the auto parts store for fluid soon. P
