Just picked up a 2001 gmc jimmy sls 4d 4x4 with four wheel disk brakes to flip and make some cash...

Just installed new ebrake shoes, rotars, 2 calipres, pads, and flexlines. She came in with no brakes.

Anyway I can't get flow to the new front left calipre, I read somewhere of a valve on the abs block that needs to be opened manualy? Any ideas?


Thanks for the help

-edit: Front right calipre

 

Are you using a one man bleeder system or you gravity bleeding or do you have an assistant pumping the pedal?

 

2 guys

 

Ive had some gms that just wont bleed and what ive done in the past is bleed the brakes with the car running. Give that a try and let us know how it works out.

 

Whatever asianic twit that made my brand new calipre never drilled out the bleeder port... drilled it out and works perfect

Thanks

Its funny that you mention that, because today i flushed my brake fluid and had the same problem. Weird!

 

Seriosly? Mine was brand new, the threads were there but the hole into the fluid chamber was never made
