Replaced brake calipers on 2000 ford f250 now fluid shoots out when we bleed them?
Like title said need help on this one
Did you replace the copper washers on the banjo bolts on BOTH sides of the rubber line where it connects to the caliper?
Fluid shoots out of WHERE? It's SUPPOSED to shoot out of the bleed screws. If it's coming from any place else, then you didn't do the brake job correctly. Go find a REAL mechanic and get it fixed.
Perhaps the REBUILT calipers are JUNK parts! It happens EVERY DAY! YOu did NOT h\need new ones ANYWAYS< but only a FULL POWER BRAKE L|}BLEEDING DONE! AL BRAKE FLUIDS decay after about 4-5 years of use, turn BROWN< and then are TOXIC WASTE and eventually LIQUID SANDPAPER! I sincerely DOUBT that your CALIPERS were even CLOSE to needing replacement! A SKILLED baake person KNOWS o=how to restore a caliper to FACTORY NEW with NO additional parts or expense! POWER FLUSHING of brake fluid is required task on All CARS of All YEARS made by ANY car company! All BRAKE FLUIDS attract water and moisture from the AIR and get WATER LOGGED! Then it rusts BRAKE LINES from the inside out, and also rots RUBBER brake hoses with time! THE CURE is a POWER BLEED using only fresh FACTORY FLUIDS from a SEALED container! Once a brake fluid can is OPENED< it is ALREADY RUINED! BYE NOW! <<PUT ORIGINAL CALIPERS back on and EXERCISE al the sediments fromt eh SEALS< or use GENUINE FORD REBUILT parts from DEALERSHIP! POWER FLUSH fluid using only GENUINE FORD fluid as well, or jsut take car to FORD!
Please ask someone with a little brake experience to help you.
#1. The master cylinder bust be filled between bleeding the *right rear first, left rear second, right front third and left front fourth.
Maybe i'm misunderstanding but fluid is supposed to come out when you bleed brakes, thats why you bleed them, to get the air out of the fluid
- Why did my 2000 Ford Windstar just blow all off the tranny fluid out. But now its not leaking anything? I drove it with a trailer attached all day then I dropped the trailer off and drove home. When a was turning on to my street the car violently shuck but kept going I pulled into my drive way and looked under my car and big puddle of tranny fluid everywhere. So I filled it up this morning and drove it 75 miles and when I got back I was still full on fluid and nothing was leaking. So WHY?
- When i go to start my boat it shoots gas back up carb, it is 2300 holly? Just finished valve job, carb overhaul and gas still shoots out the carb.1996 302 ford motor, withholly 2 barrel carb. Keeps fouling the spark plugs from all the gas. What might cause that are where else should I be looking.
- WHAT WRONG? No lecture$. LHF brakes metal to metal week+ Today pedal goes to floor No brake power until almost bottom out Fluid not low? 05 AWD Ford Freestyle. Besides grinding all around brakes were fine. Now noise is close to negligible. Replacing Front pads/rotors tomorrow. A must to bleed now? Air in system? Caliper?
- How to get the bolt out for the front calipers on a 2002 Ford windstar? I have a 2002 Ford Windstar and the front bolts that hold the caliper on are rusted and want back out. Looking for information on how to get them out so I can replace the brake pads. The bolt heads are so rust that you can't get a socket on them.
