new rear calipers STILL NOT WORKING!!!

i just got some new/used calipers off of a 96 trans am ws6, i know the calipers worked as the previous owner just wrecked his car a week ago and put new shoes on the back prior..

guys i really cant figure this out...

the calipers are getting fluid.. but they just wont pop out or move what so ever..

i drove the car with a busted brakeline and the fluid got alittle low... but i had no choice for getting it home...

now, what is going on with this car?

it has all new lines from front to back. side to side. somethings just not working...

could it be air in the lines?

ive bled these things alot, i dont see how air could still be in the lines...


someone please give me a list of things to check... shoebox isnt helping me with this problem...

could my proportioning valve be stuck? could my master cylander be causing this?

how can i diagnose what could be causing all of this???


please someone give me a hand with this... i just cant figure it out.,...

Re: new rear calipers STILL NOT WORKING!!!

Dude, why are you calling me out? People on the internet help as they see fit or as their expertise/time allows. You can't demand help from someone. They might be less willing to help if you do.

There are only so many parts in the braking system. I have never seen your particular problem as it is a bit obscure. I suggest you get a manual or take it to a local shop, if the internet brake experts are not solving all your problems. Some things just can't be solved without being there in person.

Totally inappropriate comment.

Suggest we close this one, and you start over without the attitude.
