The previous technician who last serviced my 2016 STI over torqued the caliper mounting bolts on the left rear caliper and the bolt snapped off inside of the caliper when I tried to remove it. The reason I needed to remove the caliper to begin with? Well, to remove the rotar to replace a broken wheel stud that was also way over torqued. I had to take the brake line off to take it to get it retapped. Is there a way to bleed that circuit alone without the use of a vacuum bucket?
@@Rrrakanishu Unfortunately this is a common trend I've seen with average technicans who are not familiar with this style of Brembo caliper. You can bleed out the front left caliper however for peace of mind I would recommend bleeding the entire system given the caliper was removed from the vehicle. In this video I cover the exact same issue with the bolt snapped off ruclips.net/video/4M4M8pz1tIg/видео.htmlsi=BXrZThN3TEXR1WwM
so the sequence is: pump brake to floor and hold, open the bleeder nipple till no more flow, close the bleeder nipple, and have the person lift the brake and do it again?
Depending on how your carrying out the bleeding process. But no you do not need to disconnect the battery. Notice in the pump this was done with the engine off, so no assistance from the brake booster.

@ thank you

Correct.
Maybe a stupid question... Can I do this with battery disconnected or does power to the brakes need to be on?
