Caliper won
.........I just finished installing new calipers and rear brake cylinders and bled the system starting with the master cylinder. Problem is, the passenger caliper won't bleed. No fluid with bleed through the bleeder valve. A buddy said the flex hose is collapsed. Any ideas? Thanks.........Zapr.

Re: Caliper won
That's usually the problem, the hoses are old and get clogged. Replace rubber hoses regularly, every 5 years or so.
