Default Brake Caliper question

On my hatch, I have disc brakes in the rear, but my right rear caliper seems to have some problems......I am in the process of replacing my front and rear pads, and front rotors....and master cylinder.....but when I go to bleed the brakes, I open up the bleeder valve on the rear pass. side caliper, and no fluid comes out. so I take the hose off to the caliper, and fluid comes out fine. Do I need a new caliper? and where can I get a good one for a good price? And another question while i'm already writing this.....proper bleeding procedure is (pass side rear, driver side rear, pass side front, driver side front) is that correct?

You can either replace or rebuild your caliper. You can get a rebuild kit at your local auto parts store. I replaced both calipers up front and got them both off of ebay. They were in great shape, but I still rebuilt them. Bleeding procedures will be in your Helms manual (which you should allready have). But, most vehicles, you want to start closest to the master cylinder, so it would be D F, P F, D R, P R. Good luck!

Another Question......sorry bout this.....but I just recently found out that my bleeder screws on 2 of my calipers are so clogged up that I can't even clean them up....tried to but I couldn't. So my question is, do they sell just the bleeder screws alone for calipers?
