At the risk of being labeled "nasty" (or worse), I think that is a BAD idea.......with something as important as a front brake.
You probably need to disconnect the TOP of the hose first and see if you have a fluid block or if there is a mechanical problem causing the binding.

CAUTION: Be VERY careful with the brake fluid. It will EAT paint and windshields. (Don't ask me how I know!). :roll:
Not nasty, don't worry. But like I said, I had to have it quick because the one that was on there was actually leaking at the sight glass and the screws on the top were stripped, I couldn't even use a stripped screw tool on them they were so rusted and worn. But if I can't figure out what is wrong with this one, I guess I will have to park it longer and try and find an OEM replacement.
