    Hey! I am having one problem with it now. I put the new caliper on the left side last night and put new brake pads on it. Then I got to the right side and I put new brake pads on and I was going to bleed that side but the bleeder valve was stripped. Also whoever put that together last time, had the caliper wedged in there and only had one pin. I don't know how it has lasted me as long as it has. But, anyway I was wondering what I should do since the bleeder valve is stripped? It drives OK, but I can tell there is still some air in the lines. Should I just replace the other caliper since its only 22 dollars?

    Definitely replace the right caliper, grease the caliper pins, and bleed the complete brake system.

    All right. Thanks! My dad is switching out the bleeder valves today. He thinks he can get it out of the one on the car. I guess we will see.
