If you replaced all your lines then you have to bleed out quite a bit. Are you bleeding them in the correct order? R/R,L/R,R/F,L/F ?

Did you remove the old crush washers and install the new one? Sometime they get stuck on the caliper.

If you let the brake fluid went too low on the master cylinder while you were changing the brake line, you might need to bench bleed the master cylinder.

Im not for certain. I've only did it once and followed the instructions with the new master. All I did was clamp it in a vice, plug the outlet line holes, and fill with fluid. Then take a dowel rod or something (I used a 3/8 extension) and push the plunger until you get strong resistance.

Yea basically, you do it until you dont have anymore air bubbles in the reservoir
