Hey those are some great pics wizkid, but when they're that big, please try to use clickable thumbnails or plain links instead. This is so others won't have to scroll horizontally to read the page

Thanks!

Thanks! Can you tell me how to use thumbnails, I have never done it before.

Couple ways...

Easiest... go into your Photobucket account preferences and under Link Options, check the box to show clickable thumbs and use that URL instead.

Another way is to simply prefix "th_" to the image filename in the link and then put that in as if you were naming the URL to your pic. This gets you the pic by itself when you click it (if you click "Edit Post" you'll see how I did it).

Any more questions just PM me.

When I took my first year of automotive tech apprenticship, all the literature explained that it is the double cut seal that slighly retracts the pads so that they don't ride on the rotors.

I know, it's everywhere. I believed it for a long time, untill I actually started to work on brakes. Then I realized how easily that seal was extended, and how hard it was to press a brake piston back and started thinking bout it. and determined that IF the seal was strong enough to act like a spring and retract the piston, it would retract it to the same position each and every time unless there was some elaborate mechanism to limit it's retraction which it doesn't have, it's just a simple pressure or no pressure system with no valves.
If the pressure was low enough that the seal was able to pull the piston back, you wouldn't need a brake compressor or levers to get new pads spaced far enough to clear the disk.
