    Brakes not bleeding

    So the all the brakes work on my e30 except the front passenger side brake... I've tried bleeding the brakes but fluid would not come out... So i took the line odd the calipers and still fluid would not come out. Any ideas? Is it clogged? How should I go about fixing it?

    This is a common problem we have been seeing in the shop lately. These cars are getting old and brake fluid should be changed yearly - so many cars come in and look like the fluid is brown to black and obviously not changed in some time. The brake fluid breaks down the rubber lines and the rubber seals on the master reservoir. They crumble apart and start clogging the system.

    Try taking the soft line off first and hope the clog is in there. If not, you will want to take the line off at the ABS pump and hopefully blow some air in the hard line and get it to push out.
