    Caliper bolt is difficult to access with a breaker bar and will not move otherwise on my 2012 Altima.

    Hey Chris, after you replace the caliber, do you only bleed just that one side where you replaced the caliber or you bleed all the lines?

    Thanks for the vid I always wondered about crushing these hoses.. i'm scared to do it. I was wondering however if i could use one of those cone shaped silicone plugs and just stop the brake line with the? I used once on my bleeder screw hole when I needed to change that and it was pretty effective.

    I was stuck in traffic, with my foot on the brake. After releasing it, my car stalled but quickly returned to its normal state. What could cause this?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars austinarmpitts says:

    Do you just have to bleed the one brake caliper in this case? Thanks

    You must not live in the salt belt, I would have beat the crap out of those bolts to free them up because of rust.
