Brake confusion?! Any help appreciated.
1982 mazda rx-7. --- So i had a caliper that leaked so i replaced the caliper and the brake line because it looked frayed. anyways i bled the front brakes three times and realized i still have no pressure in my brake peddle. could this be a bad master cylinder? i heard you can bleed them but i cannot find the bleeder screw. im thinking i might just put on a master cylinder but idk. any help?! thanks, tim

Did you bleed all four Wheels? If not, that's the first thing I would try, starting with the passenger rear, then the driver side rear, passenger front, and driver front last.

I don't know if it is absolutely necessary, but I would do it to make sure you haven't introduced any air into the lines. I have discs in back on my 82, so I can't give any guidance there, but i would think there is a bleeder screw on those just like the front.

Bleed all four starting with the farthest from the cylinder (rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver) I may just be special, but I had to bleed all four of mine 3 times before they were where they should be...
oops, thought i read "discs" not "drums" my bad!
