Brakes are brakes right?
This question has to do with my 81 subaru GL, but that's not too important. What happened was this, my brake pad came off and destroyed my rusted caliper, so i put a new caliper on, and new front brake pads. After I did this, my brakes stop working all together. My driver side (old caliper) has great pressure when I bleed the brakes, shoots like a jet. The passenger side (new caliper) on the other hand is real weak, and the piston won't clamp at all, won't even move.
what I can't figure out, is why? I thought maybe it was clogged line going to the passenger side caliper, but before al this happened the brakes worked fine. I was thinking maybe something wrong with the booster or the master cylinder, but I have good pressure on the drivers side.
I'm really at a loss on this, and I've been without a car for a while because of it.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
(this may not be a jeep in reality, but it's my jeep in spirit till I find me a TJ!)
