No brakes??
Hey guys, so I changed my caliper the other day and i went to go bleed my brakes. Unfortunately I couldnt because there is no pressure in my brakes. My brake pedal goes all the way down to the floor and don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
For future reference, I've found it best to pour brake fluid directly into the caliper when installing a new/dry caliper.
You most likely have too much air in the system due to the new caliper. How long did you have the caliper off? Did the master cylinder run dry?
I would suggest just opening the bleeder screw on the new caliper and letting it gravity bleed. Once fluid starts coming out the bleeder screw, I would think that you would have enough pressure to bleed properly with the pedal.
