Air in Brakes issue

[Midias]

OK not to long ago I went to replace my rear calipers should have been easy but the store gave me the wrong part and then I had to wait 4 days this is after I removed the old ones to get the core charge taken care of. Now I got the new ones on but I cannot get them to bleed. I have used a hand vacume extensively but all i get is air and a small amount of fluid. BTW when the car was sitting it lost most of it's fluid.. Any ideas guys.

when u bleed em do you pump it twice then hold it down, then crack the bleeder so the pedal goes all the way down?

I know how to bleed brakes I have done it before. This time the pedal is not building pressure.
when I crack the bolt nothing happens. I have used a hand pump but it sucks mostly air and a very small amount of fluid.

i wasnt telling you how to bleed them i was askin what way you were doing it.. i dont kno what would cause what yer having sorry..

Yea I tried it that way and I have tried a hand opperated vacume pump for brakes.

if u have an air compressor handy they make one thats air i guess u could say "driven" and it seems to work evry time with me..

OK well I got it. What IO did was hook a shop vac to the line nearest the brake booster and ran the car while the vacume sucked finally I hearding a noise of moving air and the brake booster was free of air hazza I got brakes again.
