problem w/bleeding & brake calipers
I'm having problems doing my front brakes. The right front started making noise a couple weeks ago. When I took the front passenger wheel off, the outside pad was ground down to the base of the pad and so was the outside surface on the brake rotor. The driver side brake rotor was fine, so just popped in the new pads.
I put a new brake rotor and new pads on the passenger side; but no way in h.ll could I fit the new caliper/pads back on. If you put a new pad and an old pad on, the caliper drops right in and that's what I had to do to drive home. I also put a new brake hose on.
At the end of the night tonight, I bled all four sides , starting with the passenger rear, and also bled both spots on the master cylinder... I am wondering , since I did the bleeding on the master cylinder will the caliper drop in now with TWO new pads...
Any ideas? thanks
