Browning Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 changed brake line on a buddy's s10 yesterday and couldn't find a bleeder valve on his calipers. Not even a place where one would have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 You should still be able to use a piston compressor. I have a mechanical one that screws in so I don't have to open the bleeders at all unless I'm draining all the fluid to add new. Just be sure to leave your cap off the resevoir and have someone watch to be sure you don't overflow or there with a rag to catch it. Hopefully, someone else will come in who may know more about s10 brakes and any other possible solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 well I changed the line so all the fluid is now drained and it'll need bled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 just get a reman caliper then s10 parts are cheap that caliper shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Can you see where the valve apparently broke? I've never heard of claipers not having bleeder valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
