Where are the bleeder screws for brakes on ford f150?
Disc brakes at the top of the caliper Drum brakes at the top of the wheel cylinder
What causes front disc brakes to stay engaged when warm and disengage when they cool down?
The next time the brakes are stuck engaged, try opening a bleeder in one of the calipers to see if the pressure releases or not. If the pressure releases I would suspect a faulty master cylinder. If only one caliper is stuck, it could be a collapsed brake hose, stuck slider pins or a stuck caliper piston.
Why does the bleeder on brakes need to be on top of the caliper?
The most important use for the bleeder valve is to remove air from the braking system. As air rises and will not flush out of a bleeder mounted low on the brake the bleeder needs to be at the top.
How do you bleed brakes on Honda motorbike?
same as a car, take the caliper off, and leave bleeder to the top, build pressure, hold, open bleeder, repeat.

Where is the brake bleeder valve located in a 1996 Saturn Sl2?
The bleeder valve is a 8mm bolt for the rears located on top of the drum or on the caliper itself if you have disk rear brakes. For the front, a 10mm bolt is located on the caliper itself. PB blaster should be used to be sure the bleeder valve is not broken

Where is the bleeder valve forthe brakes of a dodge Dakota?
located on each brake caliper/wheel cylinder for drum brakes. have an assistant pump brake pedal several times then hold down. open bleeder valve. repeat on each wheel until only fluid comes out. top off master cylinder as required. I suggest using line wrench on bleeder screws.
You just installed a new caliper do you leave the bleeder valve closed and fill it before you bleed the brakes?
After you install the caliper, to keep the mess to a minimum, use a length of rubber hose that fits snug over the bleeder and direct the other end of the hose into the bottom of a clear container, open bleeder valve, remove master cylinder cover, keep reservoir full with new brake fluid (do not let it go empty if possible), let gravity fill the caliper and gravity bleed the majority of the air out. When you no longer see bubbles coming out from the hose bleed the brakes as you normally would.
What would cause a clicking noise at the right side when the brakes are applied?
check for loose caliper bolts, brake pad may be moving around in caliper or caliper bracket. missing or broken brake hardware.
When the brakes in a car are applied what does the piston in the caliper do to the pads?
The piston is forced out of the caliper by the pressure of the brake fluid. This pushes the brake pads against the rotor, in turn stopping the vehicle.
