Brake Question

Have 60 series front disc brakes on my 40 cruiser. I was just checking the rig over tonight to find that the front passanger side disc is getting fluid all the way to the caliper but not coming through the bleeder hole when I am trying to bleed the brakes.

Taken bleeder screw completley out and still nothing. Any suggestions??

Will I have to put a kit through the caliper if so where do you get them from and how much???

Or is there another way.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Cambo

Take the bleed nipple out and probe the hole with a small pick
you might have some sediment build up

Take the caliper off and dismantle and inspect it.
Don't take chances when it comes to brakes. My wifes cousin found out the hard way when his brakes failed in his 60 series and he wrote off two new cars while being uninsured (luckily he only bent his bullbar!!)
How do you know that the fliud is getting all the way? Sometimes the rubber brake lines can fail on the inside and block. Fluid should come through of it can get to the pistons.
