brake fluid gone, front caliper is shot...what now?
Hi All,
I haven't been here in a while. I wish I could say it's nice to be back but it's not...I have brake problems. The pedal hit the
floor with my 3 year old in the car and I had to drive 5 miles home using a downshift/E brake method...it worked thank goodness. I started poking around and saw the master cylinder was bone dry...then I (i think) found the culprit...front passenger side caliper. Tire and some parts drenched in brake fluid. check out the pic. My question: do i replace the entire caliper? or is that brake line connector a separate part? The truck is 20 years old...should I replace all four calipers and the lines?
