Default 92' 240 brake problems

changed my rear pads this morning, got everything put back together, went to bleed the system and nothing. peddle goes all the way to the floor, bleed the system 10 or 15 times and still spitting out air/fluid mix. bleed the front also and they squirted out a good streem. any ideas?

Maybe the master went bad after compressing the calipers to install the pads.

I've heard that happens often,
so when I did mine I opened the bleeder so the fluid was just dripping out, then compressed the piston into the caliper, fluid squirted out instead of forcing fluid up into the master cylinder.

Looks like a master cylinder rebuildmight be needed.

Have you taken the front wheels off? you havent got a wheel cylinder leakin have you? just sayin in case you havent, I say the front wheels. because obviously you have had the rear ones off. cheers John.
