The son-in-law just changed out his front right rotor, caliber and pads. He disconnected the brake line for all of 50 seconds. Not much fluid came out. Hooked everything back up and we bleed the caliber by opening the bleeder, pumped three times twice, held the pedal down and closed the bleeder. Had good hard pedal pressure just a little low on fluid in the resevoir. Should we be good to go? Thanks
Still looking for LM29H1B415501, '71 Demon 340

If you pumped the pedal with the bleeder closed then held the pedal down and then opened the bleeder and air came out then closed the bleeder WHILE still holding the pedal down and did that a couple of times till no more air came out then yes your fine... top off the fluid in the master and go test it out

Id change both.My Durango I put new pads and rotors on.A week later one calipar hung up.I was going to a gun auction so I pulled in the shop and just changed it.I was in a hurry.Left and went like 20 miles and the other locked.Back to shop changed it.Then both were OK.That was 4 years ago and no problems so far.Rocky

Something i've never seen. The dual piston caliber was not syncronized...one piston was pushing out farther than the other causing the pad to wear at an angle. Probably one of the pistons didn't retract and smoked that side of the pad. Other side is OK
