Ok, I'm at my wits end and on the verge of throwing something heavy in the garage if I don't get my brakes working!

Can't get the brakes properly bled and get pressure in the system. My experience is non-existant and here's the background:

Complete new front disc upgrade (old drums in back) from inlinetube including a new master and all new brake lines.

Installation seemed to go very well. A few leaks at some of the fittings but I sealed those no problem.

At first I tried manually bleeding the system, but that didn't work at all. Next, I bought one of those Might-Vac systems for about $40. Pumped that dang thing until I couldn't squeeze my hand anymore. No pressure. Next, I spent $80 on a power bleeder from Motive Products. I pump and pump and pump and can't get it past 5 psi!

There are no leaks that I can see and I really, really tried to follow the directions when I bench-bled the master.

I'm clueless at this point except to take the master off and start over by bench-bleeding it again. ugh.

Anything else I can test or try to solve this problem????

Thanks,

John
