It was super cool to get behind the wheel, even though I'm sitting on a 6x6 piece of wood.

so bleeding the master and front went OK; we got nothing on the backs.

I suspect the brake pressure regulator needs to be wacked or something.

Please advise before I do something stupid.

Some videos show a different BPR, this is a 75'

The first time my dad showed me how to bleed brakes, I spent more than 30 minutes pumping the pedal until my leg went numb as he cursed from the back of the car that no fluid was coming out. Something must be wrong. Could the mc be completely bad? Clogged lines? Getting nothing but a dribble out of the bleeder and the pedal is still soft going all the way to the floor. After nearly an hour of pumping the pedal, I looked down and realized I had been pumping the clutch the entire time. It wasn’t funny at the time, but we laugh about it now.

Sorry this probably isn’t constructive, but thought I’d share.

That reminds me of a time we had a VW and the starter died when we were on vacation. Mom was in the drivers seat and me and dad had pushed this POS up and down the street 15 times trying to bump start it before my dad went to check if the key was turned on. Lol. And it wasn’t.
