Default Seized brakes

Would a seized rear caliper piston on my 97 Integra GS prevent me from bleeding my brakes properly and having any brake pressure, I cannot find any leaks anywhere. Thanks in advance.

you should still be able to bleed the brakes with a seized caliper. but sometimes a seized caliper piston can make the brake pedal feel soft. not soft enough that you have no brake pressure but just a mushy pedal.


you should replace seized brake componets regardless.....

I was going to replace it regardless, but I was just hoping that in some abstract way it was the reason my brakes are still snuggly soft.

I have had a seized rear caliper that caused the pedal to sink completely to the floor..
