Hi People,

I have a set of VW rear calipers on my trike from a Bora ( Marked with VW/AUDI ) and after bleeding them found that pressing the brake I could see greese squeezing out the the end where the hand brake lever goes in, anyway.. only happening on one side, is it likely that it's leaking brake fluid in side and pushing out the grease ??

Cheers,

Stu

Well i don't think they are leaking, been pumping the pedal like mad and cannot see and more grease or fluid coming out and the side.. so me thinks it is o.k.

Never had the problem Stu, but would assume it's just excess grease finding it's way out.
