Brake Caliper

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Bleed individual calipers only after all air is removed from master cylinder. See MASTER CYLINDER  .
  1. Place box end wrench over caliper bleed screw. Attach a clear tube over bleed screw. Submerge other end of tube in a clear container partially filled with brake fluid. Depress brake pedal slowly one time and hold. Loosen brake caliper bleed screw to purge air from cylinder. Tighten brake caliper bleed screw and slowly release brake pedal.
  2. Repeat sequence until all air is removed. If it is necessary to bleed all brake calipers follow brakeline bleeding procedure. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE  . Test drive vehicle. Ensure vehicle exceeds 3 MPH for ABS modulator actuation. If brake pedal is spongy or soft, re-bleed system until pedal is firm.
