Not much, between the heat and the rain, been hard to get anything done up here. Did manage to strip out my carpet and start prepping for Raptor liner and I did get my new rear bumper on. I have to do the front bumper, lift etc. it's a big project.

Good morning fellas
ran into an issue yesterday replacing the calipers, rotors, and pads on the Comanche...
1st I installed the calipers wrong so I did them the right way
2nd the washers provided didn’t want to sit correctly on the caliper but finally got it not to leak
3rd the main issue-
went to bleed the brakes because I know when swapping caliper gotta do it to get the air out
tried for an easy 3 hours to finally get fluid out with no air when I finally got to press the brake pedal (had pops pressing the brakes) there’s no pedal pressure and when I checked the pistons of the calipers they haven’t moved
do I keep bleeding the brakes until I have pedal pressure?

but it’s still kind of iffy because when I do it again there’s no fluid again
theb there’s moments where the fluid doesn’t lower in brake fluid reservoirwhen pressing the pedal
