I had a close call today,stupid minivan stopped short and when i hit the brakes i heard a pop and pedal went to floor.I had to swing out around him,glad i have quick reflexes.Limped it home and found a hole in pass brake line by the fender.Wasn't a hard fix but when i went to bleed it the bleeder screw was rusted solid,so had to heat up to remove and put a new one in.But tried to bleed it and couldn't get any fluid out.I took off the line on the caliper and got fluid out but don't know why i can't get any out the bleeder screw.I even took the screw out and couldn't get anything.Not sure why anyone have any idea's?

Well gonna take the caliper off tomorrow and see if it's plug or the piston is stuck.

I bet theres a clog just inside the bleeder zerk. Take a small screw driver and push it in. proabably a good diea to rebiuld or get new/remans if your having this issue.

Well when i took off the caliper i had to wack it with a hammer to get it off.I don't understand this because in the fall i lubed the sliders with silicone brake lube.But that wasn't the problem,kept looking and it turns out the rubber hose was clogged.So i replaced that and bled it,seems alright now.I can't bleed the drivers side because the bleeder screw is screwed so might have to bleed it through the line instead.
