An aprilia guy catches this. LOL. I gave up on my rear brake a loooong time ago.

It's actually been a little over a year since I had a rear brake. My friends helped me work on it once several months ago and I've had a few others look at it. Another friend of mine wants to see what he can do before I buy another. He seems to think he can fix it so...

And the bleeder valve is pointing up.
