2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission truck pulls to the left when braking

[JDKammin]

I know this has probably been beat to death. I put new pads on the front of my 96 the other day and since then the truck will pull to the left when braking. I thought with the miles on the truck, the right caliper is bad. I installed a new caliper, but had problems getting it draw fluid out of the bleeder with a vacuum bleeder. I am now thinking that something is messed up with the brake hose. Any input on this? Thanks.

I have seen rubber brake hoses swell closed from exposure to brake fluid.



I would replace the rubber hoses on the braking system and flush the system of that brake fluid.

Yes sounds like swollen hoses!

Be sure to change both front hoses! If you plan on keeping your truck try the stainless lines.



Take good care of those caliper pins too!

I hope this helps.

Yup, be sure the pins are lubed. With worn pads installed (not new) I compress the piston with a c-clamp. Then I make sure I can slide the calper on the pins by hand. If I can't I pull the pins out then clean and lube them. I've tried a couple different things and the Syl-Glide from NAPA works the best.



If the rotors aren't real flat it might take the new pads a little time to seat to the rotor face too.
