looks like you need to bleed your brakes they most likely have air in them and bleeding them should fix this
To change the rear brakes on a 2004 VW Jetta, start by safely lifting the rear of the car and removing the wheels. Next, remove the brake caliper by unbolting it and sliding it off the rotor, then replace the brake pads by sliding them out of their slots. Use a brake caliper tool to compress the caliper piston back into its housing before reattaching the caliper. Finally, reassemble everything, ensuring all bolts are tightened, and pump the brake pedal to ensure proper brake engagement before driving.
It looks like a hydraulic clamp. When hydraulic pressure is applied with the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the disc brake pads to the disc brake rotor to stop rotation.
Most likely the brake switch. Not for sure with this model, but brake switches are almost always easily accessibile being located somwhere in line with the brake pedal.
Behind the brake pedal stem. You need to crawl underneath the dashboard in order to see it.
brake light switch, it is typically located above the brake pedal somewhere on the brake pedal arm
You pop the cover of the brake fluid resevoir, fill it, and then replace the cover. Then, you loosen the "pip" on the caliper with a very small wrench. Then, you have somebody pump their foot on the brake pedal until you are sure that there is no more air in the brake line. Brake fluid will be squirting out through the pip. On the final pump of the brake pedal, they have to hold their foot on the pedal while you tighten the pip! Then, you might want to refill the brake fluid resevoir.
To change the front brake caliper on a 2003 Buick Rendezvous, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheel. Next, detach the brake line from the caliper and unbolt the caliper from its mounting bracket. Replace it with the new caliper, reattach the brake line, and ensure everything is tightened securely. Finally, reassemble the wheel, lower the vehicle, and pump the brake pedal to ensure proper caliper function.
No resistance from the brake pedal could indicate very low brake fluid, a broken or leaking brake line, bad master cylinder, blown out caliper pistons or rear wheel brake cylinders. Another possibility: Did you just compress the brake caliper pistons during a repair operation? If so, you may need to pump the brakes (slowly) a few times to re-extend them. While doing so, it will feel like there is no resistance from the brake pedal.
To change the brake pads on a Volvo S60, first, lift the car and remove the wheel to access the brake caliper. Next, unbolt the caliper and slide it off the rotor, then remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket. Install the new pads, reattach the caliper, and finally, replace the wheel. Be sure to pump the brake pedal to seat the new pads before driving.

Brakes can jam and the brake pedal can become stiff due to several reasons, including air trapped in the brake lines, a malfunctioning brake booster, or a seized caliper. When air is present, it can prevent proper hydraulic pressure from building, affecting pedal feel. A faulty brake booster can inhibit the assist necessary for smooth braking, while a seized caliper can cause the brake pads to remain engaged. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues.
