KSlawman is onto something..
As I said before. As the pads wear the fluid level in the resiviour drops.
If it is topped up/ flushed/bled than when new pads are installed there is too much fluid in the system. When changing pads you are supposed to remove
the resiviour cap and as you push the pads (pistons) back watch the level
and remove excess fluid. If Mac forgot this step then the brakes are
being pressureised by the compressed air in the resiviour.
He would have reached a point where the pistons could not be
pushed back any farther, as I recall though the pads were not that worn.
