my mistake

Postby me&pathy » Sat Jun 14, 2008 11:00 pm

while changing the pads out on my matrix i over torqued the valve on the caliper that hold's the brake fluid in. any way the valve broke into two and the other half is jammed into the caliper im not really sure what to do about it and i have no clue how im going to pull it out of the caliper. so any idea inputs or suggestions would be very help full.

Go to sears and get an easy out set. It will dig in to the valve as you turn it counter-clockwise. You should be able to get a valve at an auto parts store to replace it.
