Hi, As an act of desperation, I ran CLR thru my brake lines this weekend. I disconnected the lines and put tupperware bowls under them. The next mornning, I got some chunk looking pieces of junk, but when I went to pick some up out of the soup, they disintegrated. I think this is because of the CLR BTW CLR is a mild phosphoric acid solution, used for removing calcium, lime and rust, hence the name. On the downside, my brakes still don't release the pressure, _and_ the pedal feels soft, although I didn't bleed them at all afterwards. I think I might try this again, and leave it in longer and see what happens.... Thom -- > I was born at night, but it wasn't _last_ night!
