@carls_garage: Simple mistake during brake job leads to a soft pedal. Easy fix, just swap the calipers to correct position and bleed brakes again 👍 #mechanic #howto #interesting #carguy #brakejob
what if you haven't changed the calipers? and did abs bleed?

My dad taught me do one side at a time. Especially doing drum breaks. It gives you a reference.

Ok serious question. Of you are doing just pads why would you remove the brake hose? Just take the cap off the reservoir and push the pistons back in on the caliper new pads and no bleeding

Happened to me once. We bled the brakes three times before we figured out our mistake.

as a parts professional, that is exactly why I label a customer's caliper boxes per location. "front driver" "rear passenger"

Every car every vehicle has a bleeder on it and it is always above. It’s entry point. It is at the very top. It is always at the top common sense.

I bought a 90s RamCharger a year ago and the guy put new brake system all the way around and couldn't get it to bleed. Come to find out he did this as well. took me a minute to figure it out myself.
