Where is the bleed screw in the brake caliper?
The bleed screw is located in brake caliper behind the wheel. It, therefore, resides in a challenging environment. It is disposed to heat from the braking process as well as dust and mud from the wheels. This harsh environment might cause the bleed screws to rust or corrode, making it difficult to remove them.
What causes no brake fluid to come out when bleeding?
Flex hoses deliver brake fluid from reservoir and brake master/cylinder to the brake caliper. In case the hoses happen to have any cut, or it’s torn out, there will be no pressure in the brakes; thus, brake bleeding will fail. It also causes the brake fluid to leak.
