Let's just say that the guy complianed that his brakes were squishy, had to keep refilling his brake fluid & thought he had a leak somewhere. Our mechanic told him to find another way to the job & he would check the brakes out on his crew truck this morning. So what he found was that when the brake caliper is so far extended that it is into the fins of the rotor it begins to leak from the backside......Funny? No! Worse! This is the second one we have seen in the last year, the other didn't quite make it to the cooling fins. Niether of the guy complained of brake noise or grinding...One of them restores cars as a hobby...
