Default problem with brakes!!!bled them and still no pressure!!

i bled the crap out of my brakes and it seems like an endless amount of air in there. the only way i get some pressure is if i pump the brake pedal. everything is tight and i don't have any brake fluid leaking anywhere.air and brake fluid is coming out and i keep filling the master cylinder when i bleed them but still not enough pressure.(89 crx)

do them one at a time
the best way ive found is using that one man brake bleeder thingy ..costs 10 bucks at any autoparts store

i usually pump the brakes 5-7 times hold down on the last pump and have someone open the valve

What exactly do you mean by no pressure? Is your mc bad?


Otherwise: bleed, bleed, bleed. I hate bleeding my brakes because I go through alot of fluid before I get them right.

i couldn't figure out what was wrong so i took it to midas. aparently, i put the calipers in the reverse order. they switched it and bled the system. now i have good pressure, but when i push the brake pedal and hold it, it will slowly move down. it will re pressurize if i release the pedal and press it again. anyone know what that means?
