Sign up here!   Email This Post Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting huffy47 User Dec 29, 2011, 7:47 AM Post #1 of 4 (1426 views) Bleeding Caliper ??? Sign In I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer S10 I had to replace the caliber on the right rear and now I can't seem to get it to bleed properly. One thing I am wondering about is that on this caliber the bleeder is on the bottom and seems like it should be on top. But it was the same on the one I removed. I was wondering if there is a trick to this or not. The brakes work fine but I need to pump them twice or the light comes on the dash. Thank You Huffy 47 Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 29, 2011, 8:25 AM Post #2 of 4 (1407 views) Re: Bleeding Caliper ??? Sign In That's not right. The bleeder should be on the top. Someone at one time put the wrong caliper on that side. You'll never bleed the air out of the caliper with the bleeder on the bottom. Look at the other side and see if the bleeder is on the top. Which light is coming on? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Sign In Thanks for the tip I was sold the wrong part it was for a 2 wheel drive and I have a 4 wheel drive. Took it back and was given the one I needed and had it bleed out in just three tries thanks again Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 30, 2011, 3:57 PM Post #4 of 4 (1360 views) Re: Bleeding Caliper ??? Sign In I think it was more that you had a left side caliper and needed a right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
