I changed the rotors,calipers,and pads on the front of my 2003 buick century. I bled them and still my brake goes to the floor! Need to get to work. Please help!

Re: brakes Sign In

Still?........... Was this the original problem?
Has it lost any fluid?

No loss of fluid, just had worn pads and rotor, and the calipers were sticking

So, you didn't have the low pedal problem before. Go look at the calipers and tell me if the bleeder is above the line fitting or below it.

OK........... easy fix

You mounted the calipers on the wrong side of the truck. You have the left on the right and the right on the left. Switch them and bleed it and you'll have a pedal.
