What are the consequences of damaging the old seals? I ask because I am experiencing a odd problem with my brakes and I cannot figure what the cause is. I had my gf help me bleed the brakes two years ago and there is a very good chance that she pressed the pedal as far as she could. The problem I have is that when I brake really hard and let off the brake pedal the brakes do not release immediately. There is a noticeable pause, maybe one half to one full second. It also seems like it is worse in winter when the temperatures are low. Normal breaking is fine. One year ago I took it to a reputable shop and had them look into it and also change the brake fluid. They were unable to find any problems.
Thanks for the help,
Al
