sometimes it's very difficult to get all the air out of the system when you have done all that work.
Start at the right rear wheel.,,,then left rear...then right front and then left front...it may take a few trys but you'll get it. Make sure your rear brakes are adjusted up properly aslo.
Hope this helps

keep bleeding the brakes as there must still be air in the system, do the right rear first then the left rear and next do the right front and finally the drivers side wheel, also check the rear brake shoes for adjustment if you have drum brakes on the back, they might need adjusted up some.

First check if your stroke on your old m/cyl is the same as the new. then bleed the master cylinder. then bleed the abs. then bleed. rt/rear then lt/rear then rt/front then lt/front. i have some cars kick the abs porpurtioning valve out of sinyc and it takes for ever to get back in place. I had to use almost 2 quarts to get it inline. Next time open the bleeders before you compress the piston it saves alot of headaches. If all else fails take it to the shop and tell them to preesure bleed them.

You may have an air pocket in the line. Pump the brakes quickly if you start to get some pressure then keep pumping them for a bit. Then check the brake fluid level and see if it has gone down at all. I had this problem with my van and did what I have told you and when I checked the fluid level it was down, filled it and was done, no more soft brakes.

There's probably still air in the lines.
When you bleed the brakes, start with the one farthest away from the master cylinder. (right rear) Then left rear, then right front, then left front. And make sure to keep the master cylinder topped off while you're bleeding the air.

Have seen it lots at my shop after a customer replaces brake parts.
Make sure you have all the air bleed out .
And make sure you parking brake cables are free and are releasing all the.
and then adjust up you rear shoes.
If your shoes are not adjusted up you will get a low pedal.
And if you let the master run to dry and kept pumping the pedal you could have sucked the seal in.
may need a master cylinder.
first try to free up Parke brake cables and adjust up rear shoes.
hope this helps

Yes. You have to bleed at the anti lock block too.
Best remedy...Take it to Pep Boys. For $49 they will completely change out all of the brake fluid.

It sounds like you still have air in the system. Bleed the system again. Good luck.

you might need to take it to auto zone, that vehicle gets the brakes bled through the use of a scanner for the abs
