Bill:
Silicone has to be bled very slowly, and should be followed up a day or two
later. It has a tendecy to trap air if not handled properly. It is better
to start out with all new brake componets. On Tds and Tfs I have had to
take out the piston on the master cyl, and cut 50 thou off of it, to allow
the piston to return farther, or the brake light sticks on at times. Also
silicone has a nasty habit of eating old style brake light switches.
