brake bleed problem

so i installed my new rotors and new pads and i only bled 2 of the brakes cuz i only uncapped 2 (i didnt mess with the brakelines or anything for the other 2 no fluid came out or anything) So i bled the brakes that were uncapped and fluid came out cuz i had to push the piston back in. So after i bled the bakes, i still have no pressure at the foot, my dad says it still needs to be bled..........but then we bled it again and no air came out..........so what the hell is my problem.... its pissing me off cuz its the only thing thats keeping me from driving her....heh

why did u break the valves loose if you were just replacing the pads??? if you break the bleeder valves loose at even one wheel, you have to bleed the entire system...at any rate, bleed the entire system, start at the point farthest away from the master cylinder, which would be RR, then LR, then RF, then LF. pump, pump, pump, pump...hold....release valve, repeat...

this also works great, and you can do it by yourself with this:

if that doesnt work, you have a leak somewhere, which isnt allowing pressure to build

You can usually pick up same type of one man brake bleeders\vacuum pumps in you local auto parts store for about $40. Only issue is making sure you get a tight seal between hose and bleeder screw. Sometimes previous owners swap out the bleeders so you have unlike size fittings.

I now do my brake bleeding with the vacuum pump kit and wouldn't do it any other way.
