If i just take off one caliper, and put another one on.. do i have to go and bleed every wheel, or can i just get away with doing the one that i replace the caliper on?

 

It is in your best interest to bleed the entire system starting with the wheel farthest away from the brake booster. Start with the Pass. rear, Driver Rear, Pass. Front, and last but not least Driver front. Its really not that much of a pain. Anytime you get any air in the system its a good idea to bleed all four wheels.

 

/\ x2, the air tends to find its way up and then the bubble finds its way all over your system

 

this may be a stupid question, but what do you guys mean by bleeding the brakes? im asking because my 88 dak had some kind of brake problems and i took off the front wheel where the sound was comming from and looked at the rotor and pads and the brake line (taking everything apart). when i put it back together i had no brake pressure even after pumping the brakes for a long time and adding more fluid. its not really a big deal because i hardly drive it, but it would be nice to figure out what's wrong.

 

uh yea thats why you dont have brakes, to bleed the brakes you gotta crack the bleeder nut, looks like a male end of a hydraulic coupler. turn it with a wrench with somebody in the cab that pumped the brakes 10 times and HOLDS the brake pedal down when you crack the bleeder nut, and tighten it back up when fluid reappears. do this a few times at each bleeder, cause it sounds like you have a lot of air in your system. and ahte to tell it to ya, that v6 of yours is no tractor trailer ( they have air brakes) pulling 40 tons down the highway.. sorry to kill off your dreams.

 

i know very well its not a semi, i've ridden in one. i took it apart because it was making some kind of horrible noise and the brakes started going out.

 

haha good, i hope you know im just kidding around
