It's warming up and I'm itching to go, as long as I can stop. So, I put new pads in all round, after having bled my system. Then I found something that perturbs me. When I put the new much fatter pads in, I had to try and push the calipers back to fit over the disc, and to my surprise they just went really easily. I should have known. When I tried the front brakes, I got ntg at first, just a leak from the bottom of the master cylinder, then pressure built up again with pumping, and I have brakes again. Trouble is I don't trust them. They feel fine and stop well, but there shouldn't have been a leak.
Anyone see what I've done wrong, Should I re-bleed?. I might add I have replaced the piston and rubber boot in the master and all connections seem tight, just a line of fluid along the bottom of the master cylinder.
