Oh doooood....

You totally put the left side's caliper on the right side of the car.

Bleeder always goes at the top of the caliper.

/Smacks you in the back of the head

Hey, it's ok I made a mistake doing mine too. You gotta mess up to learn sometimes.

It's good news that it's just on the wrong side versus replacing the master cylinder.

You didn't read the other thread yet, did ya UMfan

Ok, it is stupid, but I wasn't the one that put them on wrong. It was like that. I put it on the correct side. I remember bleeding my brakes a few months back and the bleeder valve was facing down.
Anyways, that didn't make a difference swapping them anyways. My mechanic ended up changing out the master cylinder and I now have better brakes than I ever have. I have a nice full system of the synthetic brake fluid too, no more gung!
$165 later, I wish I could of spent that on grills and something else, or towards the 12" brake upgrade. Oh well, I got good brakes now!
And Chunkee, I'll send you an invoice via PayPal for that $1,000 soon!!

Told ya it was the mastercylinder

LMAO!!


"but I wasn't the one that put them on wrong. It was like that"


That is sad, I'll let you off the hook..this time..


Did the mechanic block the lines to test the master cyclinder? That is the only way I would pay, need proof it was in fact the MC. Its easy to blame the MC and do a proper bleeding and not let the customer know (not that I am accusing..)

I find it odd that the MC failed at the same time the calipers were pulled off for painting. But I have seen stranger coincedences.

I've known this dude for 20 yrs (family has).
And they cut me deals all the time!
The MC is from 2002 and all that bleeding I did and pushing it down most likely rumptured it.
