Okay it's been a while since I've posted but I have run into a problem. I just changed my caliper on my drivers side of my car. There was nothing wrong with the old caliper except one of the mounting bolts was seized up and I couldn't get it off even with hear. So I went and bought a new caliper, bracket and bolts for it. I put on all the new stuff and new pads with no issues whatsoever.
Now I keep getting air in my lines I go around and blead all of the brakes starting at the farthest from the MC first and working my way to the driversside which is closest. Everything seems to be great until I do the last one and then it all goes to hell and I have air in my lines again. I took it out and test drove it and I kept getting smoke from the passenger side brakes when testing the brakes on a hard stop. I bring it home and both sides are nuclear hot. Couldn't even tough the wheels until they cooled off.
So I then did what any person on the point of being very aggravated would do and I went inside drank a beer and ate some food. After filling my belly with beer and food I go back out and life the car up remove the wheels and start the car without the wheels on it.
I put the car in drive and checked the wheels they turn a bit then hang up and then turn a bit then hang up. So I gave the car a smidge of gas and go out and look still same deal. So I then step down on the brakes to stop the rotors from turning. I then get out of the car as it's still in drive and look. the new rotor I put on isn't turning(drivers side) and the old roter is spinning freely(passenger side) and it still feels like it has air in the lines.
I did use the crush washers on it.
brake line is tight
bleeder screw is tight plus I put thread tape on it.
I'm at a total loss here if someone can make some good suggestions it would be much appreciated.
