Clockwork is on a distinguished road
So I installed my new (to me calipers and rotors with new Juris brake pads on used factory rotors (I had turned) and now my pedal definitely is not as firm as before and seems the brakes take longer to stop than my factory 4.4i calipers with factory pads and factory rotors.
I fully rebuilt the calipers. It was fun doing it actually. Painted and heated in oven. Inspected pistons and all rubber boots/sleeves and bought new guide pins and proper brake assembly fluid (Holy crap does that make things slide soooo easily during install of parts).
Perhaps I'm doing the brake bleed on my x5 wrong. I don't need to use INPA or DIS5.7 to activate anything, do I?
I figured it was a normal bleed where you start at right rear and then left rear, right front, left front and have a celebratory drink... Not so much this time
