Brake bleeding problems, Help PLease
I just had all my calipers off and epoxy painted them and put on new stainless braided lines and new rotors. everything is back together and no leaks.
Problem is that I have ran over 1 quart of brake fluid through the lines both with my power bleeder and by using the bleeder screws with check valves and pumping the pedal and I still have spongy brakes? I tried the power bleeder first then used the valves that I already had on the calipers. I do RR LR RF and LF sequence. The first time I press the pedal it goes all the way to the floor. Then I can pump it up. Any Ideas?
PS:
I have a new Motive power bleeder
I think I know the answer. I have the bleeders on the bottom. I have to switch Calipers.

I have the Calipers on wrong. Two more hours and I will have it fixed. Thanks. I have to have the bleeders up!

Changed them and things work perfect now. These are the first I ever painted, I will know next time. Think that powder coating might be the way to go? The epoxy is real messy.
Thanks
