So the other day I noticed a loss of pressure in my brakes. I thought I would just need to bleed them and when I started on the front left brakes I noticed my pads were shot, so I replaced the brake pads...while doing so I also noticed I would need a new caliper for the front left so I replaced that as well. Figuring that this would fix it, I started to try and bleed it (with the help of my brother pumping the brakes). I noticed that the front left brake was not putting out enough pressure to squirt out the brake fluid all nice as it should. I checked the bleeds on both the back two drums and the front right. They all bled fine with ample pressure to squirt it out. Thinking there might be a clog in the brake hose or the brake line I took them all off and there were no clogs at all. I don't know what it's called I refer it to as the "spider web" that is connected to all brake lines and the brake master cylinder and it feels like the line I had taken off had some pressure but not enough to push the brake fluid through. I re-installed the brake line and hose. checked the calipers and everything to make sure there's no gunk. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Still doesnt bleed properly.
