2007 Toyota Corolla S, Rear breaks Air bleed problem

Asked by Uk01 Jun 26, 2018 at 04:31 PM about the 2007 Toyota Corolla S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have recently replaced rear break shoes for my
2007 Corolla S. And during installation the cylinder
boot and spring got pop out along with some fluid.
So, I installed it back into and adjust shoes ect ect.
But it's still pressing all the way down making
some air type sound during paddling. I don't see
any leak age at all, it just doesn't press normal or
hard enough. Any suggestions please. (Also, I did
not bleed air at all).

You installed it back but did you bleed the air from wheel cylinder ? It has a bleed screw on it to bleed air. This has to be done since it fall apart.

Thanks, Firebird338! Yes, you're right It was a bleeding issue and didn't bleed them after installation(I should've look at your reply) and on top of that my brake cylinder boot was leaked, I had to grab it from a junkyard plus bleeding valve was badly rusted. Took me so long to loosen that bad bleeder. My suggestion to the people who are planning to do this rear brake job must check if the be able to open both sides of a bleeder and use lots of penetrating spray it a day before the job. Well! the problem has been resolved now. Thanks!
