Brake pressure after replacing front left caliper and brakes on the 97 camry

Hi Shelby,what are you trying to do?To release pressure,get a wrench and open up the bleeder valve their,get a rag to catch the fluid.Here's a link to a diagram of the bleeder valve.Also here's another link on bleeding,Is your brakes sticking,you may need a new caliber.

Hi there, to bleed the brakes properly you need 2 people, 1 to supply pressure to the pedal and the other to release the air from them bleed screw, it is a very teedias job, and you can spend a lot of time trying to bleed the system, you can do it alone, fill up the reservoir and loosen the bleed screw from the caliper, it will drain by gravity, just keep check on the amount of air from the system and make sure you top up the reservoir after each brake bleed

Master cylinder fluid piston has entered into a brake safe mode.
when the high pressure brake system is opened in any way, the brake master cylinder piston reaches to the far end of the master cylinder which trips the brake system warning light.

This brake light condition is due to sudden loss of brake fluid pressure on the right front brake caliper assembly during the replacement.

Left rear brake caliper bleed valve will ned to be "opened" until master cylinder piston travels into the opposite direction which "resets" the brake system warning light.

Dot 4 brake fluid recommened for most, but not all vehicles.
Reference vehicle to owners manual for replacement fluid is replaced under master cylinder brake system cap.

The brake hose is clogged. When under pressure from applying breaks, the piston is forced tight to the rotor. When released the fluid will not return through the hose because there is no real pressure. Replace the hose.

the problem to start with is a bad brake master cylinder and will remain so until the master cylinder is replaced
brake systems operate front left back right on one section of the m/cyl and front right back left on the other section
take it to a professional brake shop and have the job done safely

replace the master cylinder as the compensating port is blocked

You are either low on brake fluid or you have a vacum problem. It is a long shot but possible the Master Cylinder is having an issue or an air bubble in the system. Start the vehicle and make sure it is blocked. With the engine running perform system bleeds on all four calipers. Pump 3 times then release bleed valve. You are going to need a couple bottles of brake fluid to bleed all these calipers and get the air out of the lines. You should make sure the primary vacum is connected to the master cylinder and that there are no leaks on any lines before you start the bleeding process.

The flex hose to that caliper has deteriorated and collapsed. You need to change both front flex hoes immediately! Once the hoses get to this stage they can blow under heavy braking and leave you with no brakes.

to do a complete job. you need to bleed all 4 wheels, starting from Right Rear. Right front. Left Rear. Left Front.

Start from right rear, then, left rear, right front, left front. Fill master cylinder. Have helper sit in car, have helper hold brake pedal down. open bleed screw. fluid and air comes out. close screw. release brake pedal. Continue until no air comes out. Move to next wheel. Keep an eye on master cylinder fluid level after each wheel.
