My back drivers side piston leaks a tiny bit, but, also drags and generally doesn't seem to be working well.
Previous owner had a brake job in 2018, no details though.
ABS light is on and won't turn off, even if battery is completely disconnected for an hour.
I bled the brakes with a Motive pressure bleeder. Passenger rear went fine (fluid was dark, but no slug of water!).
During the driver rear bleed, there seemed to be a blockage, since only a relatively small amount of fluid came out before it stopped entirely.
To clear the line, I used a 2x4 to pressure the brake pedal, opened the fitting, fluid came out in volume, closed fitting before letting off of the brake pedal (no wife available yet).
Then was able easily get clear fluid to run out of fitting with only the Motive pressure bleeder at 15 psig.
Pedal is firm.
Now lots of weird noises from that area are audible when driving slowly.
Stops well, probably better than before.
Not loosing fluid.
Front pads are thin, but disks are smooth.
Ready to replace the whole thing, pistons, drums, pads, springs, fittings, and ???
Might as well get complete front and back kits.
Recommendations for complete kits?
