[QUOTE="bullitt1672, post: 14805849, member: 36377"] I took my front calipers off the car the paint them, and since the lines were disconnected all the fluid drained out of the front part of the reservoir. I also put new pads in as well since they were already off the car. So I fill the reservoir back up so to let the lines fill back up, and when they started to drip I connected the lines the caliper. First go around bleeding the brakes, I got a normal amount of air come out (Had a clear hose and catch cup to the bleeder screw) Did each wheel until no more air came out...Pedal still went straight to the floor with very little resistance. Bled them again, but this time bled the master cylinder first, which no air ever came out) Then the wheels again. Never got any air out the second go around, and even ran a whole bottle through just to be sure. The pedal still feels the same, no pressure. You can even turn the rotor slightly when the pedal is down. Anybody have an idea on what may be going on? The lines going to caliper are tight, with no leaks anywhere. Could the pistons be froze up? I only disconnected the front brakes, and only the front part of reservoir went empty. [/QUOTE]
