Hello, My 1994 Ford Taurus Sedan recently had the passenger sider rear caliber "freeze-up". This cauased a small fire around the rubber bushings and the pad to become warped. I have since replaced the caliber and installed new pads but can only get limited pressure and brak fluid flow to the new caliber. I have attempted to bleed the line several times but can only get a few drips of brake fluid through the lines. Any suggestions regarding what could be causing this and how do you repair it?

Your flexible rubber line going from the body to the caliper is probably plugged or partially plugged. If you loosen the steel line from the rubber line at the body side, you can tell if you are getting fluid that far.
