Would that be off the vehicle or on. I guess any brake shop would do that for you.

how so?

they would be off the car. basically... the pass. side im not getting any fluid through the caliper so its clogged or something. and the driver side, it bleeds, but air is getting back into the system and im getting a bead of fluid at the bottom of the caliper...

i bought them from napa over a year ago, but didnt install them till i had all the parts... so i doubt i could exchange them. so i need a shop that could test and fix them.

I thought we went thru "cross proportional" brake systems
of Mazda's and Chryslers last year....with an RX7 owner??

Depending on the year Mazdas and other tie the RF and LR
brakes together, LF and RR tied on the other circut. Mazdas
like all other mature vehicles have the rubber hoses on the
brake to caliper area swell shut, need to isolate the issue
before throwing away money.

all the rubber lines have already been replaced. the rear of the car bled perfect... its just the front end im having trouble with.

Check with NAPA, they may be under warranty... go get a new one, test done.
