No fluid out of lower left bleeder 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be AZvolvo240 on  Wed May 5 16:03 CST 2004 [RELATED]


I just purchased a Motive Brake Bleeder. Great tool!! I was able to bleed all lines but the lower left inside bleeder. I pulled the bleeder out and cleaned it up. Do I need to buy a new caliper? Do I have something in the lines? What do I need to check/flush out?
Thanks for the help

First thing: pull the bleeder valve out again and poke inside the threaded hole in the caliper it came out of. Use a probe or an ice pick. This is a common place for corrosion to build up. If you poke through this crusty plug, it will break up the corrosion and the fluid will start to come out again, so have the valve handy to put it back in quickly.
