Problem bleeding driver side brake
Well i thought i had a frozen driver side caliper. As the car would pull hard right when breaking. So i purchased new calipers, rotors and pads. Well it seems im not getting any fluid to the driver side caliper. I can get the passenger side to bleed out, but nothing to the driver side. Does any have an idea as to what i should look at next? All the lines look clean and in good shape.

Not sure what car you got there, BUT, I have the brake hose itself to be the culprit, they look fine on the outside, but have collapsed on the inner lining. This was on my XJ-S, and other peoples Jags, as well as some of my other departed Jags.
So much so that I now change the brake hoses on any Jag I purchase s/h that is more that 10 years old, along with ALL the fluids, filters etc, and that would be all of them.

bleeding brakes.
Ok i will look at getting new ones of them. This 89 xjs has ABS brakes and inboard brakes in the rear. It has the electric pump on the passenger side. Should you have the ignition on when bleeding? It seemed this way i was eventually able to get some fluid to the caliper and both front calipers would tighten up, but it appears no where near fully bleeded as it does not have much pedal. Ofcourse now the brake light is staying on. I was going to try and suck everything out of the resevoir with a turkey baster, and see if i can get to the rear calipers to try and bleed them at the same time. If there is proper bleeding procedure it would be appreciated.
