Default Brakes not working
I have a 98 Cherokee that I just changed out pads rotors calipers plus back brakes. Brakes stopped working after that. I did some research and now I've replaced the master cylinder and brake booster. STILL NO BRAKES! I checked for leaks and I noticed brake fluid on my back passenger tire. Haven't had time to inspect it further but I'm really hoping for some advice.

Did you bleed the brake lines?

I did the front only because brakes were working until I changed the front out

Fix the leak at the rear and completely bleed the brakes properly.
