I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer S10 I had to replace the caliber on the right rear and now I can't seem to get it to bleed properly. One thing I am wondering about is that on this caliber the bleeder is on the bottom and seems like it should be on top. But it was the same on the one I removed. I was wondering if there is a trick to this or not. The brakes work fine but I need to pump them twice or the light comes on the dash. Thank You Huffy 47

That's not right. The bleeder should be on the top. Someone at one time put the wrong caliper on that side. You'll never bleed the air out of the caliper with the bleeder on the bottom. Look at the other side and see if the bleeder is on the top.

Which light is coming on?

Thanks for the tip I was sold the wrong part it was for a 2 wheel drive and I have a 4 wheel drive. Took it back and was given the one I needed and had it bleed out in just three tries thanks again

I think it was more that you had a left side caliper and needed a right.
