How's it going everyone just need some verification. Today a buddy and I replaced my brake lines with steel braided and rotors to drilled and slotted. Worked my way around the brakes bleeding started pass rear to drive rear to pass front drive front 2 times to verify I had fluid all around brake pedal is extremely hard thank God never felt so good but then I turn the car on and pedal goes to floor no longer hard!!! Assuming it was because the abs module but not sure. Did I miss something? any help appreciated.

How much fluid did you cycle through? I usually go through about 1 liter of fluid to be safe if I open the hydraulic lines. Realistically you could get all the air out with 500 to 750mL.

Recheck and rebleed the lines. It's a lot easier if you someone push the brakes while your bleeding them

Keep bleeding. Use a vacuum bleeder and pressure bleeder if you have help and have those. If not, just keep bleeding until they become firm.

I use the Habour Freight vacuum bleeder, its like 30 bucks, 100x easier than pumping the brakes.

hmm... I was going to buy the mityvac version of that tool, but this one is 1/5th of the price. How many times have you used it?

I don't have an air compressor. Mityvac doesn't look to promising. for some reason I feel it might be my master cylinder put a new one in a few months back and don't kno if I properly bench bled it is there a way to do that while installed?

I recently did this in a truck. Used this kit:

Video, showing how to do it outside of the car, but how it should work.
