Brakes again

[Derek Pulvino]

Ladies and gentlemen, herein we have one of the few exceptions to the 
dfiiiab adage.  Pay close heed as it could be eons until you see it again 
(rib, rib).

I mean, I never said the caliper was leaking, and it would seem that any 
compromised function of the guide pin is independent of the inner workings 
of the caliper.
