Still poking around on my brakes to try and get happier with my pedal. I have Cadillac brakes on rear and have never gotten what I’d call a decent bleed on the system overall. (GM disk conversion on front, updated to a 1.25” MC a while back, yes my parking brake is adjusted right)
I was crawling under truck this AM and noticed with how my rear pinion is rotated up for driveshaft angles, that it’s possible the caliper bleeder screw isn’t totally on top. From looking at the Cadillac service manual it looks like the banjo points straight down and mine is maybe 10 degrees off bottom.
Looking at an extra caliper I have, its hard to tell for sure where the bleeder hole intersects the piston bore but it with how mine is installed with pinion angle, it does look it might not be totally on top.
Not gonna have time to mess with bleeding until back from work travel but thought I post up the observation.
Will update thread when back to CONUS.
Here’s a crappy pic from Caddy manual.
