Is it a problem if you don't bench bleed? I put everything on my car totally dry and then just filled the reservoir and went to town. Didn't take long to get pressure and bleed all the air out, and these lines and all 4 calipers were totally empty, and it was a new master cylinder unit.

Getting the air out is getting the air out.
Why the 4x4 ride height, Aidan?

Need more travel. Its actually the 949 recommended ride height.
<p>Some people say that you can still get air trapped if you don't bench bleed. I'm on the fence about it.</p>

<p>Not sure. Broke that caliper so I quit for the night. New caliper ordered and I'll be picking it up today.</p><p>Front was tight with the 205s. 225s will just be worse.</p>

<p>Either my torque wrench is broken, or something else happened. Its been feeling not happy the last few times I changed pads and this time it just gave out.</p>

<p>Tee-hee.</p><p>When this first happened I got really upset because I thought I ruined the brackets you had given me. <img alt="" src="https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/sadwavey.gif" style="height:29px; width:25px" title="" /></p><p>But they I realized I just ruined the caliper and only screwed myself over.</p>
<p>Also, hey now, front pads are brand new.</p><p><img src="http://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.miataturbo.net-vbulletin/166x71/80-okbjzbb_766d9d23e6e1ad7a93da001b38a3f84c445d1d05.p ng" title="" /><br /><br /> </p>

I didn't take anything apart, I just squirted some plain old multipurpose oil at the dust shields, and let it soak in a little. Hasn't failed me in at least 20 years, so I haven't been too concerned about it.
