i jump into the driver seat and press the brake pedal down and then release it up.need to did that few times then can feel the brake.

when you press the brake pedals, is it soft, or just like normal when to apply other brake?

but high chance there is still air in it.

correct. not side to side, but both rears, then both fronts

make sure you bleed them properly

Best to have 2 people to help you bleed.

to get rid of all the air you must step on the pedal, tell your buddy to hold the pedal down then u open nipple for about 2sec then close the nipple then your friend can release pedal. Repeat this as many a 40 times on each end. like lan said do rear first then front last and always start with the corner furthest from brake booster/mc.

Check your brake fluid levels...

err engine off, bleed FURTHERMOST from the Master cylinder. Get a mate, you'll need to do this at the last stage as it's most important, nipple tightened, pump till hard and open the nipple (DO NOT RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL) tighten up and then redo till you see no visible signs of air bubbles. One other factor is that may be during this installation and the bleeding process you've damaged seals on you current master ?

lol you must be doing this by yourself or something ? pumping it then letting go of the pedal to go out and bleed the valve yeah ?
