After the full brake change (MC, booster, all rubber lines, calipers, all wheel cyl's, yellow pads, shoes and mechanical springs, bearings, seals, the works), she stops like a dream. Looked at the bags and thought, better safe than sorry.

After ordering from Applied, the stock replacements "like Sully", and pulling the old bags (which looked OK), what a surprise (not really) to see how both cracked and frayed the INSIDE of the bag was.
Amazingly, the system does not leak down as fast as it used to. (next project)

have to figure out how to post a pic..
