@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

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

Ever since I started blood pressure meds, I can't get a hard pedal either.

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 need some advice on my 06 mazda 3 I had a shop splice the steel line when it blew and they installed a new master cylinder the pushrod seems to be right but the brakes are gripping slightly worse after warming, pedal is rock hard with ZERO travel but still stops just does it for you, and no brake or abs light

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.
