    Same exact issue after caliper replacement. Glad I seen this video as I was thinking about changing the master cylinder as I thought I might have blown out a seal after having kid help bleed the brakes. Popped in new caliper with bleed line on top and all is right again. Always go with the change point.

      I'm sure glad I was able to help you out! Glad you found this video and you didn't replace a master cylinder you didn't have to!

    thanks so much for posting, the same thing happen to me this week after buying a replacement caliper from Oreilly. I went back to the store and sure enough I was sold the caliper for the opposite side. I'm glad I found your video, thank you so much.

      Yep.... seems Oriley needs to do a bit more training for their associates...lol. I figured I couldn't be the only one this would happen to. How long did it take you to find my video? Just curious.

    This is a common issue and happened to me aswell. Just proves never think someone is competent until proven otherwise, check your purchase before you leave the store.

    Ahh man, here I am here 1 year later. Feel like a buffoon after doing this. This explains why I can't get the brakes to bleed. Thanks for sharing!

    I just put two new calipers on my sequoia I got second hand but practically new , oops I did this and ya it won’t bleed and the pedal goes to floor. Looks like I’ll be doing the job again and learning from my mistake

    The video didn't say if it fixed the problem, yes I read the comment reply that said it but the video should have. Otherwise good vid.

    Oh man I had the same problem! Going home and swap them today hope that is the fix! Did your pressure return back to normal after?

      Yes it only needs a little bit of a bleed after you swap it to the correct calliper.
