Message	So i finished reassembling my brake calipers front and rear after they were coated: [ http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=1967305 ] anywho i reassembled everything, reinstalled my calipers with new pads and rotors (SZ Kit)...now here's the thing...after bleeding all the calipers (blah pain) i saw i was leaking fluid somewhere...so i had my friend pump the brakes continuously...it appears when i rebolted the calipers together (front and rear) it's not conjoined tight enough or something?? I shot all the bolts with an air gun (100ft lbs) to ensure its super tight...but the front (more so than the rears) are leaking at the seems (bottom and inner) slowly but definitely leaking...question is should i worry...would it seal up when i put the brakes to use and heat them up and all then the two will conjoin? or should i really worry and take everything apart (pain in the f'ing ass) and try and figure out what is wrong or retighten them further...??
