Hoping someone can help with this one, or let me know if just doing something completely incorrectly. After 5 years of track days, one of the pistons in my front brake caliper seized up, so i bought some rebuilt ones for both sides. All i did was remove the brake lines and bracket's and re-installed, but now i can't seem to bleed them. pushing down on the brake pedal and no fluid it coming out. Very small slow flow in the back calipers, but can't get anything to come out of the fronts. Taking the calipers off initially did result in me losing a lot of fluid from the reservoir and I'm certain I have a ton of air in the lines. Any thoughts on what I may have done incorrectly or need to re-do? I can't seem to figure this out and I've rebuilt one of them in the past and I don't recall this being an issue. Do you think my master cylinder may be shot? Any help would be appreciated.
