Re: Time For A Brake Bleed
pulls to the left after replacing a caliper, first after a drive i would feel the wheel to see if it is hotter than the rest, if so your caliper is hanging up. Then i would re-bleed the entire system and pay attention to the right caliper to make sure all the air is out.

Re: Time For A Brake Bleed
I didn't notice it really on the way to work, so I'll keep my eye on it. I just thought it was weird that after replacing the right rear caliper, it pulls to the left. I dunno.

Re: Time For A Brake Bleed
Yeah because there is air in the right caliper still so it doesn't apply as quickly as the left causing the pull to the opposite side of the car.

Re: Time For A Brake Bleed
That is why I like using the vacuum pump to bleed the brakes. Never had a problem bleeding the brakes.

Re: Time For A Brake Bleed
yeah, top off the resivore, open all the brake bleeders and let the system vacuum bleed for 10 minutes. Then close them and start the bleeding process from the farthest from the master cylinder to the closest.
