another bad caliper? let me guess , autozone caliper? also how much fluid? if its not a good steady stream the hose may be bad.

autozone doenst make calipers. Fenco makes them or A1 cardone in the premium if they offer a premium line. Anyways. Remove the caliper and put a block of wood in it then hit it with compressed air the piston should pop out to let you know its not locked.

I treid the caliber its fine. would the flex line swelling not allow enough fluid to apply proper clamping power? its a good stream sounds like i might go ahead and replace the flex on the weekend.

Autozone sells them, and a1 cardone is terrible! I quit buying any of there stuff, I have had ok luck with fenco from advanced though. I can't count how many bad calipers and honda distributors we saw at my shop before we quit using them

I'd lie to add I'm a fan of Centric as well. Centric actually makes power slot rotors.
