I was working on a 05 Buick Century for a relative. They worn the front pads down to metal,I mean
metal. Rotors of course where garbage. Right front went well with new rotors and pads. on the left
front (this was the worse side) the caliper piston was sticking out quite far, I had difficulty pushing in
that caliper piston. Anyway,the terrible squeal is gone but the stopping power seems weak to me.
The pedal is low,I bleed that caliper and it seemed to help some on pedal feel but not for the
stopping power. Im thinking I need to rebleed??? I have done alot of brake jobs and never experienced
this. In bleeding is the answer what is the quickest,easiest way to gravity bleed? Always work alone so
two person is out. Maybe something else is causing the low pedal and poor stopping?
Open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks For listening
