Brakes don't bleed -- why? 200 1982

Volvo brake calipers must be amazingly forgiving. If a Japanese car has even a hint of moisture or crud in the caliper, the thing freezes solid.

That said, if you had enough crud in your caliper to block a bleed hole, you should really give serious thought to buying caliper rebuild kits and treating those things to a good cleaning next time you touch the brakes.
