So I just put all four calipers back on my car, filled the reservoir with fluid and pumped the pedal a few times to see if there were any leaks around the pistons. The system is tight, no leaks anywhere. I started bleeding the pedals in the order given by Haynes, and now all the rotors won't spin because the pistons won't retract and the brake pedal barely moves. What gives? I feel like I'm making a novice mistake somewhere.
Thanks in advance. |

I tried opening one of the valves on the right rear caliper, and no brake fluid came out until I pushed the brake pedal. This did allow the rotor to spin freely, but only a very small amount (not sure where it was elbow grease that allowed that or the caliper actually freed up). With that one valve open, all the other wheels were still very tight.
