Somebody Help!!!
Somebody Help!!! took off my calipers to paint them, just the front two. Well ever since i did it i havent had front brakes.... i bled them and then did the back two just to see if that was it and nope!!! no pedal and no leaks, im absolutely puzzled about this, its been sittin for two days without brakes and i know its something simple.... GRRRRRR!!!! someone help please
Okay, i know it's kindergaraten response but bare with me. Make sure the bleeder valves on all four corners are tight, then make sure the master cylinder cover is on after you fill it, then start the car and pump the brakes a good ten times hard, then check the fluid, if needs mroe keep it filled and capped, when you check it, see if it sucked the lid down? If so, you got a cut line or bad caliper, if not, then you just got air, so bleed again, and pump some more and they will fix. But always bleed all four corners, and start farthes from brake block and work your way up, so pass side rear, then driver rear, then pass. front, then driver front. Good luck

Are the bleeder screws on top or on the bottom of the caliper?
They should be on top and I bet yours are on the bottom, like a drain plug.
You wouldn't be the first to install the calipers on the wrong side of the car.

Yes. Because air rises to the top and has no way of escape if the bleeders are on the bottom.
Swap sides and your problems will be resolved.
Whenever I start to do something I write a list of things to go over while im bolting everything back together so stuff like this wont happen. Make a post about things you should remember to do and im sure people will help.
When I find a good post I go to FILE in Internet Explorer and SAVE AS the whole discussion so I can read it later offline. Have quite a collection now! Another way is to just copy a portion of a post , save it to notepad and name it with a date in the title for future reference.
