BRAKE BLEEDING ISSUES
Sunday, February 14, 2010 7:41 PM
Hi there, I have an 05 cavailer, changed the front brakes pads and rotors, put everything back together as usual only this time there was no brakes on the passenger side and the pedal goes right to the floor. Took a guess that the calipar was seezed the seal was shot. Changed the calipar and bleed front brakes as your suppose to only spend a LONG time doing so, the passenger side will not seem to bleed

Drivers side is bleeding as it should. spent 2 hrs trying to bleed the passenger side!

When the bleed screw is open the pedal does not release to the floor as it should and next to nothing comes out for fluid. When I do the drivers side everything works as it should. can anyone help! I dont know what to do because everything worked great before it was suppose to just be a quick pads and rotors job but now they wont bleed and i have no brakes!

well i know this isnt going to fix your problem, but why did you remove the caliper ?

check to make sure the copper washers are sealing as most time they are a single use, after that they will/can leak

i removed the caliper because before I did the brakes it was sticking and when pushing it back in to install the pads it was very dry and stiff and the seal was dried out and broken. the driver side was a breeze to do, and yea the seals are both on nothings leaking dont understand what the hell is going on!

Check your lines and i had this problem with mine with no fluid comming out but mine was on the rear and is a 97, it ended up being the master cylinder.
