as usual a quick brake job turns into a pain in the ass… everything is good except for the front right side bleeder valve is very difficult to loosen wont let a drop of fluid out no matter how much i open it and i need to push the piston back to clear the new pads. the bleeder valve is clogged? how to i get this thing free?
replace bleeder. U can pushed the piston back with that closed. If your just doing pads and rotors you shouldnt have to mess with the bleeder.
hm i guess ill give it another shot when i get home from work but it didnt seem like it was budging with the bleeder closed with a set of big pliers so i opened the valve and it was quite easy… either way ima need to replace this thing then
Remove the cap from your brake fluid reserviour and put a rag around the base of it and push your pistons back.
No truer words have ever been said. It is always something…:banghead
If the caliper isn’t movingbu need to replace it or the hose.
What he said, I’ve seen brake hoses go bad on more than one occasion and act as a check valve
thank you that did it. and the caliper works im pretty sure its the bleeder, its rusted in there and doesnt wanna move anyway so im gunna replace it soon. thanks for the help though
