Hello guys, I am new at this forum, altough I have been reading it for a while, but recently I removed the calipers from my car to get them painted and now I have no brakes. I have bleed the brakes for few times now but still nothing. I have a cd for the car and in there it says to turn off the vdc or disconect the battery. I disconected the battery and gave it a try but still nothing; as far as the vdc goes I do not know were that is. Please someone help me, I really don't want to go to the dealer with it

Thanks for the quick reply, I read it all but what I did is take the calipers all the way off and lost all the brake fluid. After I paint them I put them back on put more fluid on and did the whole bleeding thing(sorry not a great mechanik

I bleed the car last night too with the negative from the battery off and it seems like it is getting a lot better. I am going to do it a few more times today and see what happens. Also off the topic can you guys tell me how to put pictures of my car on here?
