Bad caliper ?

Had my brakes professionally bled when I brought her home a few months ago. Much later I heard "creaking" from the rear passenger caliper after parking a few times and it puzzled me. Shortly after that my brakes went bad. Been bleeding them with my new "Roger power bleeder" and noticed that my rear passenger caliper will not bleed. No fluid flowing. Have I found my problem ? Has something seized up ?

Funny thing is that it's obviously the newest caliper on the car. Bad install ? It was working ok for 6 months......

Crack the line going into the caliper,if you get no fluid there chances are the rubber hose is bad.

Thanks Roger. That's next. Although my rear lines are steel to the caliper.

Follow the metal line back a little and you'll find the rubber hose.
You could have a crimped metal line also.
