Dodge RAM Cab: Brake pedal loose after replacing Brake Calipers?

Tried Bleeding brakes but brake pedal gets loose or gets stuck up.All started after replacing Brake caliper.

Yes this is common.

Its not problem with brake bleeding procedure.

But the problem mostly lies in brake caliper.

The first thing is to check the placement of the caliper bleeder screws on the front calipers. They are supposed to be at the top of the caliper, above the brake hose to caliper connection:

See the help Diagram shown below:----


If they are towards the bottom or facing the bottom, then the calipers are on the wrong sides. When bleeder is at the bottom, there is an air pocket at top of caliper that will never bleed out. Swap sides with calipers and rebleed and you are good to go.

This details will help.
Thanks.

Hard Brake Pedal?

Go through list of possibilities that can cause hard brake pedal issues on vehicles.

You notice problems like :----

• Brake pedal very hard to push down.
• It becomes stiff. 
• The brake pedal hard to push or press.
• Hard pedal intermittently when braking.

This problems are noticed by many car users.

The driver's complaint of a hard pedal normally indicates a problem with the power brake booster.A brake pad or shoe that is sticking, causing the brake fluid to boil. When brake fluid boils, it expands and can cause the hard brake pedal.However it can also be caused by a restricted brake line or hose.Bent brake line or foreign material in the brake fluid. Carefully check the lines and hoses for damage. Feel the brake hoses. If they seem to have lost their rigidity, the hose may have collapsed on the inside and this is causing the restriction. Restrictions can also be caused by frozen caliper or wheel cylinder pistons.

Below is the list of possibilities that can cause Hard Brake Pedal:----

1. Faulty Brake Power Booster.
2. Worn, Damaged, or Faulty Brake Caliper.
3. Faulty Brake Master Cylinder.
