Did you ever try decaf?

Did you ever try exploring the logical consequences of your comments?

I was responding specifically to your suggestion that using a C-clamp to
retract the caliper piston -- which needs to be done when changing pads --
risks damage from contaminated fluid. If that's so, the logical conclusion is
that the fluid should be flushed and replaced whenever the pads are changed,
in order to avoid that damage. Is that your contention?

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

Hey guys, lets come down to earth here. I've been working in vehicle
maintenance for 26 years, the last 10 or so as a supervisor. believe
me, most of the time those C clamps sit in the toolbox. Especially in
flat rate shops. Unless the piston is stuck, 9 time out of 10 the mech
will just jam a medium sized prybar in there wherever he can get a
bite and get that piston retracted before he even removes it from
the disc.
