Break Issues!!

Soooooo here is the gist of it all-

The break pedal has to go ALL the way to the floor in order for the braking to begin.
Bled the breaks and only the front 2 breaks bled.
The rear 2 breaks apparently arent getting any sorta of pressure so they arent engaging at all....

Master cylinder issue??

HELP! lol

Thanks!!!

Just for clarification, how are you bleeding the brakes?

You'll have to start with the rear passenger side and bleed the brakes until you get fluid coming out of the caliper with no air bubbles. If you don't like the old fashioned 2 person way, speed bleeders, the DIY bottle kit, mighty-vac, or several other vacuum options are available to make it easier and a one man job.

Does it matter if you start w the right passenger?

In order to make sure you get the air out of the lines, it's best to start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder.
