I replaced 2 rrusted leaking brake lines that run from the master cylinder to the ABS control box. (The ABS does not work). I did not attempt to bleed the new lines at the ABS control box. I started at the right rear wheel, then left rear wheel, then left front and right front. The car was NOT running when I was bleeding the air out of the system. Now, I have very little brakes and the pedal goes to the floor. The master cylinder is full. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thank you. Notapromike.

Nothing abs can be tough to bleed there are two things you can do here, rent a power bleeder an dit may take up to 3 qts of fluid to bleed it or take to a pro so he can bleed it with his scanner to open the valves of the abs unit.
