« on: July 28, 2009, 10:10:28 AM »
after cleaning and remounting my rear brake, i little bit of fluid will leak out of i press the lever all the way down repeatedly.

the piston was in pretty good shape, as far as I could tell, and I used a new seal?

Are you sure it's leaking from the piston seal? Check the bleed screw and hose bolt first.  Wipe everything off and pump the brake up.
