Good call.  I think many of our failures could be
cured by system fluid flushes.  Hydro, brakes and
coolant.  I just helped a friend with a Dorf Taurus
with 4 wheel disks.  VERY similar rear wheel calipers.
 Guess what, the calipers and rear brake bias valve
were all gunked up with brown/black crud.  Another
case of pad stuffing.  Just put new pads on and Wala.
A $79.95 brake job.  No bleeding necessary.  Unless
you actually keep the car.
