Can't get pressure in front calipers
Ok I was rebuilding my motor so i decided to clean up the engine bay while the motor was out. I took the abs unit out. Now that its back in i"m bleeding the system and i can"t get any pressure to the front calipers. The rears are fine. There is fluid coming out but once i hold down the brake pedal you can still spin the rotors easily. I dont know if the abs unit is messed up or the calipers are messed up.
I purchased the car with a blown motor so I never had it running.

Start at the caliper furthest from the master reservoir.
Open the bleed valve and have your buddy pump until fluid comes out, once the fluid enters the line have him fully press it to the floor and close the valve. Then open press to the floor, close release etc...until the fluid is clean and void of bubbles. Don't forget to continually top off the reservoir as you bleed the fluid out
