Default No brakes please help.
What's up guys. I have been working on my 89 xj brakes for the last few days. I have replaced the rear wheel cylinders, shoes, front calipers, pads, and master cylinder. I have all ways had problems with the brakes but not this bad. It has no pedal what so ever. unless you clamp off the front break lines. Then the pedal feels ok. I have been trying to bleed them for a few hours now. I went thru a bottle and a half of brake fluid. (The big bottles) I am stumped I really don't know what to do besides keep trying to bleed them. Any help is useful. Thanks

Just fixed it. The piston for the master needed adjustment and their was still a little air in the front lines. Drives great. Now I can take it wheeling on the beach this weekend.
