Im doing my Pads and Rotors and the Back when fine , but on the Front , which is not done yet (ran out of light) is becomeing a.p.i.t.a. , the front pass caliper`s Bleeder was so tight I stipped it , so now I cant get the piston`s to compress , and another problem is the Hawk pads that are for 99-04 mustangs have two nipples on them , which on the outside pad the nipples at each End make it that the pad does not sit flush on the caliper , the pad on the piston side sits fine !

Any thoughts , anybody else install hawk pads on the front have the same problem ?

And about the bleeder being stripped , should I just get a new caliper ?

thanks !

EDIT Read First ok I took the other set of pads out of the box and they are flat on the back side , So they must be the outside pads !

I was reading up on the subject and some say you have to open the bleeder to compress the piston , so you dont get brake fluid in the ABS system , is this correct ?
