Hi Guys - tackled a brake job today, pads and rotors, as well as the e-brake shoes. I had a major rear brake issue where a caliper was sticking and my existing rear passenger pad was toast, like no more pad remaining - my rear wheels were on fire (figuratively). I attempted to bleed the brakes the old school way, depress the brake pedal and hold. I clearly introduced air into the brake system which, I think, led to my new issue, which is a mushy brake pedal - and I must slam the brake pedal to come to a stop - Only testing in my driveway, not on a public road.
I picked up a pressure bleeder to bleed the brakes, and I ran into an issue with the rear calipers. The fronts flow perfectly but the rear calipers are dripping out like a drip a minute. My forum research tells me that the shutter valve (combination block) may be stuck, but I cannot find how to rectify this situation? Is there a fix to this? Or do I need to remove the Master Cyl and bench bleed that, and also remove the combination block to inspect?
Thanks in advance!
