[QUOTE="03yllwguy, post: 16186444, member: 13592"] 94slobra1, thanks. Turns out it was the SH*TY bleed screws that came with the kit. Hate to self indulge my own thread further but due to the amount of PM's I received, I have the following recommendations for those who purchased a kit: **HIGHLY recommend you do NOT use, or at least assess the fitment of the stock bleed screws** Despite my attempts to be thoroughly clean, all four bleed screws had eaten paint near the threads due to them seeping ever so slightly. The bleed screw once broken open wiggles ever so slightly and does NOT come with thread treatment. During bleeding the fluid will expunge out of the center AND the threads - which tells me these things do not fit correctly. A google search on this reveals mustang, honda, ferrari, etc. users experiencing this. I used Russel Speed Bleeders this morning which stopped the issue but not after my finish was eaten a bit. I had them on hand but elected not to use them because they were shaped a bit different than the stock bleeders. Wish I had just used them from the beginning. Left and right brake lines were mislabeled. Not a huge deal but may want to test up top at the hardline before installing at the caliper. I required two seperate bed in sessions to get the pads right. Once done, these things rock. Very frusterating about the bleeder screw being junk. Wish I would have caught it as being a known issue. For me, $17 fix, but now I need to touch up the finish. Thanks for all the responses. [/QUOTE]
