IT ALL STARTED WHEN I BLEW THE REAR BRAKE LINE. IT RAINED LIKE NIAGRA FALLS UNDER NEATH.
THE BRAKE LITE CAME ON. THE LINE WAS REPLACED.IT WAS GRAVITY BLEAD, ALL BLEEDERS.IT WAS BLEAD WITH THE FRONT UP, AND THE REAR UP.[GRAVITY]. BRAKE LITE WENT OFF.BUT,,,,,,,,,,,, STILL NO PEDAL.JUST A BIT BUT NOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE.FRONT PADS WERE REPLACED.WHEN PADS WERE PUT ON THE FRONT BLEEDERS WERENT OPEN, JUST THE CAP OFF. STILL NO PEDAL AFTER 3 OR 4 TRYS. WILL PRESSUE OR VAUUM BLEEDING WORK? AT THIS POINT ITS THE ONLY THING NOT DUN ACCEPT THE FRONT LINE ,ABS VALVE, AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. HELP HELP HELP

hi you need to bleed each wheel manually . gravity has mixed results .but pressure bleed or manual bleed will solve the prob.
