I have a 2011 ford fusion, I use as a beater race car. The passenger side front brake pad wore out and melted into the brake piston. The brake piston extended out and leaked out brake fluid. Also caught fire slightly. All other brake pads are decent condition so this one may have locked up or been too tight.
I put on a new caliper and pads. The brake fluid wont gravity bleed. Brake fluid is full but nothing coming out. I started with the bleeder screw and nothing came out. I disconnected the rubber hose to the caliper and still nothing. I then disconnected the rubber hose from the metal brake line and still nothing.
Is this something with the abs module blocking anything going to this brake because it was leaking?
How do I fix this?
Tried to bleed all 4 corners but the non new bleeder screws are rusted bad. Not trying to buy all new calipers as the car is not worth much. Is there a way to get fluid flowing to the one I replaced?
