What kind of fluid are you using? Sent from my iPhone

Now they're staying some distance from the discs. I have to lock the brake pedal down (almost to the floor) before the four wheels will lock up. I remove my locking device (aka, stick) and all of the wheels spin with none of the metallic sound of the pad being close to the disc. Why would they retract so far back? I'm not talking a long way, but none of this self adjusting brake pad situation. True, I've not taken it for a run - mainly because it would be foolhardy at this point - but they sure don't need the spinning of the discs to retract them just enough so they won't bind. I started bleeding the brakes late Sunday. The two quarts of brake fluid I had (almost all gone) had been sitting for a couple of weeks. I'll buy two more tomorrow and try not to jiggle them. Perhaps four more. Maybe a case.
