I can't see to get the system bled and I'm wondering if there is something I am missing here.
I replaced both rear calipers. I did not fill (bench bleed) them prior to putting them on the car. I did let one the right rear caliper sit empty but on the car with everything closed for a day. Bled the system the first time, getting no air on the hose on the bleeder for at least 5 pulls. Same thing on the other caliper. Went to roll the car and I have no brakes till the last inch or so before the pedal hits the floor and they're very weak when they do come on.
I've bled brakes on cars and bikes in the past so I know I'm doing it right. There's a chance the master was dry and sucked air in, but only a slight chance. The first time I put fluid in I put a lot in but I remember seeing fluid in the reservoir so I'm reasonably sure that didn't happen.
The only things I can think of here are air trapped somewhere in the calipers. Could there be something else I'm missing here?
