Here the story. I took the car out of storage a couple weeks ago and the first ride was to work. After the ride home and back i realised i had a frozen drivers rear caliper. I replaced the caliper and have 2 problems. The caliper leaks from the bolt that the ebrake cable spring is held, so is that supposed to be tight or somewhat loosened? My main problem is that after i bleed the system (both bleeders on the master cylinder and all four calipers) i get the to feel firm but when i turn the car on the brakes get soft and get worse as i pump the brakes a few times(ive bled the system 3 times now). Is this a bad master cylinder or another problem? I just dont see how the master cylinder could go bad by just changing a caliper. And help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim
