A friend of mine has a 84-TA, he has bleed all the brakes, it has 4 wheel disk. What could be wrong? He can't get the brakes to work.

the way the rear disc are made it could be anything are they not geting any pedel at all? on my 85 with disc the rear caliper exploded are alot of times the rear stick, if you turn the pistion the wrong way they explode, if the pistions went back ez then i doubt thats the problem. did he do a swap? or is it a factory disc break car? if he swaped the perpostioning valve is diffrent. i really need to know whats happening or not happening to give you a better idea what to look in to.

yes the pistons turn to go back, instead of just pushing back like front disc. sounds like the master cly has the rod stuck wide open, does the bleeders have any pressure when bleading them or is it more like a drip? or just a little squirt? i woukld remove the master cly and replace it. and make sure you bleed the new master cly before the install
