Been trying to bleed up my corsa brakes but i cannot seem to get it to bleed through the NSF caliper? For some reason i cannot get any fluid to come through. Has anyone else had this problem? They were working fine.

Using o pipe off the bleed nipple into fluid and someone sat in the car pumping the pedal while the nipple is loose. No fluid comes out though.

have you tried tightening the nipple back up before you take your foot of the brake pedal as it mite be sucking air back in even with the pipe on

flexi pipe blocked? this has just happened to a mates car! the fluid should drip out on its own when the bleed nipple is open.

yep, If in worst case cenario get someone to hold the brake pedal, then losen off the pipe entering the caliper. while fluid/air is exiting close it off and then pump again. Very long wnded butit saves a new caliper if that proves the be the problem.

order won't make any difference to this problem.

Have you tried removing the bleed screw all the way to start with to make sure its not it thats blocked?

1: remove bleed bolt complety

if no fluid

2: Undo brake line into caliper.

if no fluid

3: work back checking joints.

Buy a bleed kit from an car shoppy. Makes it much simpler, esp with just 1 person.
