It is possible that when you were working on your brakes that the loss of pressure was enough to make the already bad seals in your master completely fail. But as reminder, if you pushed the pistons on the calipers back without opening the bleeder you could have caused them to fail at that time as well. Either sorry to hear about your bad luck. So I wish you good luck

Didnt even see your post till now. It's at the dealership now so i'll know late monday whats going on with it. I talked to a gm mech.(not at the dealership but online) and he said air in the abs box will make the pedal spongy and the abs won't function properly but the brakes should work.


Hopefully it doesent cost to much and thats all it is. Maybe when they hook it up to the abs scan tool they can tell me why my abs light has been on (previouse issue) or rather tell me wich wheelbearing it is that's bad. I'm sure thats what it is. This is the second time a scan tool would have come in handy for me. I may look into getting one now. When ever i have the cash.

The normal method with 2 people and pumping the brakes. I even did the calipers in the order gm specifies it... right rear,left front,left rear,right front
