Driving a 93 Si Hatch. Swapped out the right rear caliper. Installed a spare that I had that was in good condition (but that has been sitting for a few years).

Some brake fluid escaped while I was working on it, but the MC did not go dry or anything. After reinstallation I bled it. Brake would not engage. Pedal is soft. Parking brake does nothing.

After reading on here that I should bleed them all ... I did that. Didn't see any air come out of the others but I bled them anyway til the brake fluid was clear. I did them in the correct order: RR, LR, RF, LF.

Brake pedal gets stiff when I press it, but goes soft after turning the car on. I did all the bleeding with the ignition in IG2 (ie., car was ON, but not running) ... don't know if that matters.

What next? TIA.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Turned out it was a faulty caliper. Swapped in my second(!) spare and everything was fine again. Bled again with the key out this time .... not that it should make a difference.
