This is for my street TR4,

I rebuilt the front brake calipers with new seals around the puck and dust =
covers, I did not split them in half. Put them back in, bled the sh** out o=
f them and have no leaks.

But when I press the brakes, only the inside puck is moving, no movement on=
 the outside. My guess is that there is no or very little fluid on the outs=
ide half.

Is there a trick to getting the fluid on both sides? Do you think that is m=
y problem?

Thanks, Mike
