snapped the bleadr off one of my rear calipers. is it possable to blled the line using the bolt that connects to the brake line?


i was going to unbolt the caliper. push the piston all the way in, fill the space with some old brake pads then bleed the caliper with the line bolt being the highest point. will this work?

 

Have you tried a reverse drill bit or ez out?

 

yeah. i am eventually going to get a new caliper. i tried heading it, i tried easy out, i tried soaking it with pb.

 

i have had this happen and all i did was crack the line loose where it goes into the caliper to bleed it. It should work. Worked for me anyway..

 

ok, that was what i was asking.

 

Can't people fix things right? Why not take a few minutes and do it the correct way.

 

cracking the line will work fine.

 

i already tried everything i could to get the bleeder screw out. i need something that works until i can replace the caliper. if this method works what wrong with using it?

 

Yes it will work. No it's not the best fix but you already know that. It'll be fine to do and drive until you can pick up another caliper and swap them out.

 

as long as the air has a way to exit then YES itll work.
