Refinished Sink,

Next time do not ask for my changes on the street ok? I gave them to you tonight for the last time, ok? For your sake, there is a flaw in your advice.... It is Not a stuck Caliper, it is your brain that is stuck... Now refresh your memory and see if you can fix his caliper for the poor man, Ok?

Greg.

Excuse me Dear Sir:

But, what the fuck are you talking about?

I don't remember ever seeing a post of of 50% fuel savings.

So you are either delusional, or just plain fucking crazy!

I am working on an oxygenated hydrogen generator, and a car that can run on
either, E85, E15, Gasoline and switch over to hydrogen.

I welcome any ideas on a 50% fuel saving modification. I normally don't feed
trolls, but next time make sense, or get plonked.

PS, any idiot knows if the caliper compresses after opening the bleeder
valve, it's usually the brake hose.

First try taking off the master cylinder cover,

Then try depressing them.

If that doesn't work,

Loosen the bleeder screws.

If those two ideas don't work, you have stuck calipers.

I hope this helps.

I am trying to replace the disc pads on a Mazda 3. The disc calipers
won't
depress with a C-clamp. Any help with info on how to get this done will
be
appreciated



See, every common people have no clue on how to fix this little thing, even
your expert mechanic, how can you have a better understanding on my 50% Fuel
saving system? You called me fraud, etc.. So, there you go, help each
others.. I'm not going to bail you out.

I don't know anything about a Mazda but on an old Lumina, to depress the
calipers on the rear, you had to turn the pistons because the emergency
brake system held the pistons out.
