Default another brake bleeding question
Replace left front caliber, car pulls to right. When you bleed the brakes are you suppose to disconect the hose that comes from the booster to the manifold. Thanks

No, you don't need to disconnect that hose. As for the pulling, make sure no brake fluid got on the pads.
