We changed the brake pads and calipers and r having a hard time bleeding the brakes. Some people say that we need a scanjudy - 2000 Chrysler Cirrus - Brakes - 10/7/2010to complete the job do we need a scanner/-
10/7/2010 HouseCallAutoBefore you did the brakes, did you have a normal brake pedal? Just want to verify that the problem only began after replacing the brakes and calipers. A scanner is not needed. Brake bleeding has remained unchanged over the years. Try bleeding this way..... fill the master, open the R/FRT bleeder screw, have someone step down to the floor with the brake pedal, while they are holding the pedal on the floor put the tip of your finger on the bleeder screw, have the person let up on the pedal and then remove your finger, repeat this over and over and you should have a steady stream of brake fluid coming out after a few tries. Close the bleeder screw while holding the pedal to the floor when you have had at least 4 solid streams of brake fluid come out. Repeat this to the L/FRT and to the rears if needed.

10/1/2010 RCYou have to recheck the passenger side caliper and fix the rattle. Why did you bleed the brakes, were the calipers replaced?

If i have a busted wheel cylinder will it stop my car from stoppingamanda bordelon - 2007 Chrysler Sebring - Brakes - 9/20/2010-
9/20/2010 Nissan Technical AdvisorHi Amanda, definitely it will affect your braking performance. The worst of it, you will possibly have a leak and will lost brake. You are prone to accident. Better fix this immediately before deciding to drive that car again.

Does the reservoir on brake system supply or service from rt front to left rear?al - 1989 Chrysler New Yorker - Brakes - 9/19/2010-
9/19/2010 CVOThe dual master cylinder has two separate hydraulic pistons and two fluid reservoirs. The top part of the two reservoirs are connecting together.Adding the fluid to the front, it will supply the fluid to the second. I hope that will give you the right idea.

When bleeding brake lines do you go first to opposite front wheel then opposite back wheel or does it matter>al - 1983 Chrysler Town & Country - Brakes - 9/19/2010-
9/19/2010 CVOBLEEDING SEQUENCE.
1.Rear right wheel cylinder.
2.Rear left wheel cylinder
3.Front right caliper.
4.Front left caliper.
Now put one end of the hose onto the nipple and put the other end into the glass jar. Have Friend pressurize the system by pumping the brake pedal 20 times, then hold it down hard to keep the pressure in there. Open the bleeder screw to a quarter of a turn. Fluid and air will shoot out into the jar. Friend's foot willl sink with the pedal to the floor.Close the bleeder screw quickly; it should be open only for 1 second. Have Friend pump 7 more times and hold. Open the brake bleeder screw for one second again , then close it. Continue pumping and bleeding until you're satisfied there no more air in the line. I hope that help and be safe.

ABS warning light comes on occasionally. Brake pads and tires new. What could cause this?mike - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica - Brakes - 9/9/2010-
9/9/2010 Bobbythis is usually a speed sensor in one of the wheels. But you should first get a scanner thatt can read abs codes and see what the code is it should narrow it down so we can find out what the problem is.

9/4/2010 Oxidestrying to catch up on answers.
see if you get fluid out with the bleeder completely out of the caliper. i've seen some calipers get clogged up every now and then. i've also seen a bad master cylinder cause this. but it's anyone's guess on here.

How to bleed out the brakestoddshotrod78 - 1998 Chrysler Cirrus - Brakes - 8/29/2010i have tried to bleed out the brakes the pedal does not get hard-
8/29/2010 TechSamTodd, try doing a gravety bleed by filling the brake fluid first and then opening the rear bleaders first for 20 minutes then close them making sure all all times that the brake fluid is full, then open the front caliper bleeders for 20 minutes.
