It's my understanding that most modern two-circuit brake systems
operate one front and one rear wheel on each circuit. So pressure
held on a front brake might affect a rear brake. But you could easily
verify by running the same apply>spin>bleed test on the front. I
might look at the caliper support to make sure it's true to the hub
and secure to the car. I also might try a different brand of caliper.
Rock Auto has several choices for about the same as the AutoZone
price.
Looking at the pictures, I'd make sure that E-brake lever isn't
flopping around and doing something unseemly.
And would it be less trouble to replace the entire brake pipe instead
of messing around underneath trying to make a splice? Where's the far
end?
