Brake bleeding/pressure problem
 
Hey guys,
So as you know on my ef I swapped the brakes all the way around from a da9. Also the master cylinder, brake booster and 4040 valve. So my problem is when I go to bleed the brakes tons of air comes out and some old fluid but the fluid in the master cylinder does not go down and no brake pressure is gained. I worked on bleeding the brakes for about and hour straight, I have a good one man bleeder kit. So when I go into the car and press the pedal it goes to the floor. I'm thinking bad master cylinder. What do you think? All help is greatly appreciated!

What happens if you try the two-man method with one pushing the pedal and the other opening the bleeder screw?

Haven't had the opportunity because I've been working by myself. Do you think that will make a difference?

I was just wondering whether you are having a brake system problem or a one-man bleeder problem.

Well when I use the one man bleeder when I go to do the front brakes when I squeeze the pump to build pressure it slowly leaks i guess cause I can see the gauge going down.

So do you think there's a problem with the bleeder tool or how you are using it?

I was thinking it was a problem with the brakes, I thought I was doing it ok.

If you can get a helper, you'll know for sure.
