SO just to give you a little history I am pretty green when it comes to working on the expy or any motor vehicle mechanically. I have done a lot with looks and changed plugs on an old jeep as well as oil but that about it never really dived in to much. I had to replace both front calipers and pads as well as bleed the brakes. I just want to point out for the newbies as I will call them the big mistake I made.
The first mistake I made not to big but sucked just as much was I put to outside pads on the same side. Again not that big of a deal, i could of easily corrected it by laying the parts out ahead of time.
The big mistake came when I put the calipers on upside down..... I know I know how could I mess that up well I did.
When your looking at the truck you will see I the brake fluid line on the right of the picture and below that you will see the bleeder valve. I had no idea the bleeder valve had to go on the top and not the bottom.
I was confused because I kept bleeding the brakes and the pedal was soo loose. Once i finally realized what I did I switched everything out, blead them and they were good as new.
I know most of you already knew that but I thought I would share it for the new guys.
Hope you liked
