Or will it keep coming because something has fked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I do it again?Or do I just wash it all with water now and that's it? No more fluid will leak as the fluid there is just the stuff that was pushed out when I did the change?

Wasn't aware of it pushing it out with bigger rotors since last time I did just pads it was fine, no spillage.Lucky "mistake" that one, least it wasn't something life threatening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
