for diagnoses,
just remove the junk and C-clamp the pistons into the bores; you can fix all that after you get the hydraulics back.
In that way you only make one trip to the parts store.
When the pedal is pushed i can see the calipers move, can definitely tell they are working, everything was installed and lubricated correctly. Im going to start with the wheel cylinders since its obvious one is leaking and go from there. If i have to go through taking the master off i will most likely just upgrade to an aluminum one from dr diff anyway. Ive been feeling like the car hasnt been stopping quite as good as it used to which is why i was upgrading to the 11.75” brakes but it may have been a issue with the rear. Im going to fix the obvious leak first, the rear shoes are starting to crack anyway so might as well do it all. How could there be a mechanical problem with the calipers? As long as they arent leaking and there is no air there shouldnt be a issue right. I only have one c clamp at home so i will have to pick up another to try it but i dont think the issue is in the front brakes
