REFLECTOR: Glazed brakes

[Brian Michalk]

Just a thought:
As you know, a bolt worked its way out of my right caliper.  I had been 
experiencing mushy braking to the right, and now I believe that could be 
due to the caliper flexing and not clamping as well to the rotor.  I did 
bleed the brakes, but could not get the pedal feel I was looking for.  
Since you rebuilt, I'm sure you made sure those bolts are tight, but in 
case this helps anyone else.

Since then, I've got the new bolts from Matco with special lock washers 
and updated both wheels with them.

I could not turn left while taxiing. I have the dampener and the front gear but is set for 10# breakout. No recent modifications. Matco XT have worked fine for last 300 hrs. ??????
