3S-GTE USDM Turbo Engine More brake problems

XxBUCKYxX · 10-13-2009, 01:10 PM

So I have a 1992 turbo and my caliper seized so I bought rebuilt calipers for the rear both sides and when I went to bleed the brakes the bleeder broke in side the caliper I got it out finally and put them on and the left side rear was staying stuck on so jacked it up again and it seems like it was just the brake pad being crooked so fixed that put it back on and now I have absolutely no pedal it's solid as a rock so I tried bleeding it again and the pedal goes down like normal and as soon as I start the car bam hard as a rock again anybody have any ideas

are all of the bleder screws tightened up, thats strange.

Yeah just I don't know if I messed the other one up trying to get the broken bleeder out it's not leaking or anything

if the bleeder screws were still loose the pedal would be very soft or non-existant

this sounds like a brake booster issue to me...

That's what I was thinking where is it located

So I changed the brake booster and it's not that the only thing left is the master cylinder that I can think of

Check your brake pedal linkage, make sure nothing is damaged. Also, check that the pistons on the new calipers slide freely are aren't stuck.
