Bleeding breaks after replacing right real caliper

Asked by Guru1426L Aug 17, 2019 at 10:49 PM about the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just replaced rear break pad and the right side
break caliper. I tried to bleed the breaks but I cant
get any fluid to go into the new caliper. It comes
out of the line just not into the caliper. Also, the
new caliper they sold me, the bleeder valve is on
the bottom the old one was on the top and the new
one is marked with an R. I dont know what to do.

They sold you the wrong caliper because the bleeder valve must be on top. You can’t bleed it from the bottom as air rises to the top.
