Thanks, that is good info. Yup, when I took the front spindles off and put the new ones on, along with new upper ball joints...I cleaned EVERYTHING including the caliper bolts. Scrubbed them with a brush and WD40 so they were smooth.

OK, so fabricate the tool. Slide the tool in then tighten the outside (toward the front) nut? What if the light is already off? It is off now, so wouldn't that mean the piston is in the correct place?

And once that is done bleed the brakes. OK, got it.

Another question (which makes me think the master cylinder has croaked). My reservoir seems to seep (not drip, not leak, just seep) fluid. I replaced the gasket, but that did not resolve the problem.

It seems as though my master cyclinder is simply working only one way. Maybe bleeding the brakes will make a difference.

Thanks again.
