I replaced the two front calipers with rebuilt calipers. The system was drained. I bleed the brakes starting in the rear and going to the front. I've run into an issue with the driver's side front caliper.
I have fluid making it to the caliper, as the bottom has fluid coming out with no air bubbles. But when I went to the top bleeder, I only got air. It never filled up with fluid. I removed the bleeder screw to make sure it wasn't clogged. We peddled the car continuously, and only just air. This went on for a while.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) There are no fluid leaks in the system. Any thoughts would be welcome. |

One aspect of the "pump the pedal" method that does not get enough credit is that when the system is highly pressurized by using the pedal it compresses bubbles into very small bubbles that can more easily move and not get hung up in the pressure regulator for example. I can start off in many ways, but always end with the pedal pumping.
