lexdog Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hello Everbody I own a 01 rx300 AWD my rear brakes were chirpings so I thought it was time to replace brake pads. Easy enough right ... Well when I went to remove the caliper bolt and the damm bolt broke !!!! Snapped inside of the caliper. Well long story short I replaced the entire caliper. Installation went well but now the brake pedal hits the floor before I stop. I pumped the brakes and filled brake fluid as needed. Could air have gotten in the system ? How do you get air out ? Any suggestion would be helpful Thank in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgr7 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Did you prefill the caliper? Yes air can and will get in the system if you open up a line to replace a caliper,and the caliper has air inside before it is filled. You need to follow brake bleeding procedures and bleed your system. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunedRX300 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Must be air inside your brake lines I ran into the same issue when I upgrade to Legend Gen II calipers for my Acura TL. Use a Motive Power Bleeder - a one person bleeding pump. Let fluid out until you see no bubble out of bleeding valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
