    I just did a complete all around brake job......well for the most part....I replaced Pads, Rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, and bled them........after doing so I no longer have good brakes.....what did i do wrong, or what do i need to do?

    I also bled them back passenger===>back driver===>front passenger===>front driver.

    I feel ridiculous as ive done multiple brake jobs before just never replaced a caliper and caliper bracket....

    Oh wow and i guess you would kind of need to know which car im working on lol.....Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3.8L

    go back out to the car and make sure you put the calipers on the right side of the car, the bleeder valve should be up. top of the caliper.

    if you find one or all of them are facing down, aka the bottom of the caliper you need to switch them around.

    Sounds like Scotty is on the money. Either that or you need a power bleeder so you and the buddy can get on to relaxing.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
