Default changed out second caliper in two weeks!

This one was the back passenger one.
It takes a long time to bleed these silly things out!
At first didn't have any pedal so we bled them again and got some, then the brake light would come on while driving so I let it set awhile.
Came out for round two and the pedal was all the way to the top???
What ever as long as I have brakes.

In case you are interested, if you have SS lined, it's easy to rebuild esp. w/ O-Ring piston kits.

I think these were all factory one.
The two that are left, one has been replaced and the other looks good so maybe im done for awhile!?

If they are factory, that would be close to some sort of record. I had 2 SS before 1980.
