    I cannot for the life of me get my brake system to bleed. I have the mbm front disc kit and the right stuff rear disc kit. I am using the stock 4 wheel drum prop valve and all brand new stainless lines. I heve bled and re- bled my system like 4 times now and the master by itself twice. I am still getting air bubbles when bleeding each wheel and I cannot get a solid pedal . I have no leaks. Is it possible for the system to be taking air in somewhere without leaking ?

    Way back in the early 80's, I hung my front calipers on the wrong sides. Silly things happen, so make sure the bleeder is at the top on all 4 wheels.

    Also I think that it may not leak but could suck some air in at a bad seat against the cylinders or calipers.

    You should also replace that stock 4 drum prop valve because disc brakes need different things.

    That's all I can suggest. I hate when things like this happen. Good luck.
