+1 on bleeding them! DONOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL THIS IS FIXED!!

+2, definitely gotta bleed them after brake work like that

if you completely removed the caliper yes you have got to bleed it. DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL YOU FIX THIS.

Hey, I was just told that I have skid brakes on my 97 Gt and they have to bled from the master. Can anyone tell me what these are or is it true.

MustangMatt96GT · May 14th, 2007, 06:04 PM

Yes you need to bleed them from the master cylinder!

Why would you need to bleed the brakes for just replacing the calipers? Somethings not making sense.

P.S. don't drive your car unless you wanna challenge yourself

because when you took the caliper off the car you just got air into your brake lines.
