Rear caliper drag (rebuilt, new ss piston, seals etc): axle alignment?

[gtem]

Great news guys: I *finally* got it!

It took a few things: as suggested, properly sealing the threads on the bleeder with teflon tape. Unscrewing the bleeder a bit more and really getting some flow through the whole system: sucking through most of a whole reservoir at a high flow rate finally seemed to have dislodged what must have been a substantial air bubble. Finally, and this was just as crucial in my case: with the latest K&L rebuilt M/C piston, it took turning the brake pedal travel adjuster rod almost all the way in to make sure the master cylinder piston was making a full stroke of the bore: prior to this, it just seemed like I couldn't get it to really pump/move fluid well.

I finally have a nice feeling pedal with minimal drag on the rotor. Well, pending some more test riding I suppose.

Thanks again to everyone who chimed in, this forum has once again proved to be worth its weight in gold!
