Brakes did not work when my 17 year old tried to stop at a stop sign. She went into the median, and luckily there was no traffic or she could have been injured. We replaced the brake booster, master cylinder, and new pads and drums about 2 months ago. The brakes will not bleed, no fluid comes out when trying to bleed the brakes. Is there something we are missing in chaning any other parts on the brakes. The wheel cylinders look fine. My dad, & his friend making the repairs is stumped on how to fix the brakes. Please help as my daughter needs to car to go to school & work right now.

Most likely the steel lines are clogged with rust.

Try using brake clean and compressed air to blow lines out.

If lines will not clear, they must be replaced. Go to inlinetube.com for replacement, pre-bent lines.

DO NOT use compression fittings on hydraulic lines.
