calipers

I got them at AutoZone. IDK if you have that up there but they where $30 a peace for the front but the back ones are like $110 so I only got the front pair. And there is a core charge so you have to give up yours for the new.

I'm having trouble with the rear calipers they wont bleed off and nothing comes out of the lines. but the peddle stays hard and the front calipers work no problems?

Well I don't have an autozone locally, and don't think we have them but ill manage :P too bad to here about your brakes though. The only thing I can think of is the master cylinder might be bad, or maybe a blockage or kink in the lines

You can order them online too...

Just keep the 85, remember the bigger you go, the more money you will tend to need. If you get just new replacements all that shaking while pressing the brake pedal usually goes away. All rotors wear out eventually.

Maybe you could disconnect the line at he master and at the brakes and blow a bit of air in with a compressor and have someone see if it blows out the other end, just watch out for the brake fluid spraying out, and maybe just cover it with a rag...

Maybe you just need to drain the front lines and empty the master of fluid. Not totally sure of all the workings of a master cylinder, but itsn't there some sort of protection so that if a line fails it doesn't dump all the fluid down it?

I know some cars use dual reservoirs to accomplish that, but not sure how the aw11's master does it, if it even does.

Anyone know if what i suggested can happen? Keep in mind though that it's not terribly safe to run around with just the front brakes
