OT. Bleed brakes on the old Hot Rod

Posted by Jason1Pa on October 18, 2014 at 13:34:07 from (72.95.244.66):

Hey Guys! I think I'm writing this maybe to just blow off some stress but I'm open to any ideas as well. My family has a 1938 Chevy Coupe that needed a new master cylinder(VERY long story) so I got a hold of one that I think was defective outof the box since it wouldnt even bench bleed. I got ticked at dealing with parts from China and go out and buy top of the line one from Wilwood. Anyway after fighting many flares that were leaking I think I got that all taken care of. Now I just cant seem to get any brakes at the front. I think I got the air out but I can still grap the hub with one hand and turn it with the peddle down. Seems like the pistons arnt even beginning to push out of the calipers. Even if there is air in the system dont you think the pistons would still get pushed out and do something?? This project is going to put me in the nut house. It all started when I had to remove the front brake lines to make room for a new power rack and pinion (thats a whole other nightmare in its self) because it wasnt the same size as the old one. I've been working on this thing for 3 and a half moths now pretty much every night.. Im not geting anywhere..
