I changed both my calipers on my car, then went to bleed the brakes. When bleeding the left side, the brake pedal doesn't sink to the floor when opening the left bleeder valve. Anybody know what the reason of this may be?

Hi,

Does any brake fluid come out? If not, try to fully remove the bleeder and see if fluid is present and if the pedal goes to the floor. If nothing comes out, loosen the brake hose at the rear of the caliper and see if there is fluid present.

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know what you have tried so far.

Take care,

Joe
