Caliper won't bleed
Gents, the driver side front caliper on my '87 IROC locked up on me and I replaced it with a caliper off of an '89 RS. The problem is that I cannot bleed it. When I pulled the old caliper off, no fluid. I put the other on and had my girlfriend pump and hold. When I loosed the bleeder valve, nothing came out, no air no fluid, nothing. All brakes work fine except that one caliper. I even took the line loose from the caliper and pumped the brakes and nothing came out. I'm quite confused..

Re: Caliper won't bleed
Sounds like you have a collapsed line or hose on that caliper. Try loosening the hose where it connects to the metal line and see if there is fluid there.
