hey all,

just anted to say thanx for the help and advice on the rear caliper issue 
(they being along for the ride).  i pulled the calipers, sure nuff, tokk all 
kinds of hammering to get the guide pins out, and the calipers themselves we 
in rough shape, i may spring for new / rebuilt ones soon. fortunately it's a 
california car, so i didnt break ONE BOLT! NOT ONE! which is a godsend 
having come from western massachusetts.

new pins + boots (c/o Thepartsconnection - all for the the price of the 
dealers 1!) lotsa grease and new stainless braided lines c/o 2bennett. 
fiddled with the rear load-sensing antilock doohavus, and the rear brakes 
WORK!  what a difference.

who needs bira when youve got 4 calipers?

thanx again,
jim "still leary about the OTHER little proportioning antilock doo-dad back 
there, but at least i can stop" rose
