It all started with changing the front calipers. Bleeding did not work so we replaced the rear ones cause we could not open the bleeders, everytihng was rusted. With 4 new calipers, bleeding did not work. So we changed the master cylinder and bleeding the whole system still don't work. We don't know what to do next.

Hi:
Are you getting any pedal at all? Also, are the rubber brake lines in good shape (not expanding under a load)? Also, when you replaced the master cylender, was the plunger shaft adjustable? Finally, are you getting any brakes at all, did you bench bleed the master cylender, and when bleeding, did you start at the furthest wheel from the master cyl and work toward it?

Let me know.
