[Shotimes] Re: cables

If the release problem is only after using the e-brake, that has nothing to
do with the rubber brake lines. If the lines are swelled up, they will drag
virtually all the time.....after using the brake pedal and not the e-brake.

FWIW, my LR caliper didn't start hanging up until after the rubber lines
were replaced.......really no connection between the two (I suspect my LR
e-brake cable).

Mike, check your hoses, they will swell shut and not let the fluid release,
been there done that, hope this helps

calipers release after using

just about ready to replace the rubber hoses and put in the bias plugs
and do a full bleed if I can ever find the time. And this is after
replacing both calipers with quality parts from NAPA. One of them
twice, by the way.
