mushy brakes on a 1990 nissan stanza	Sign In

okie so i have a 1990 nissan stanza. i recently took it into a tire shop and had them check the brakes they said all was good except for my driver front caliper was bad so i rebuilt the caliper. went to bleed the brakes and the nipples broek off the two rear drums so i replaced the two wheel cylinders. tryed to have my neighbor help em bleed them using the brake and open method. ddint work so i went out and bought a mighty vac one person bleeder. i bleed them that way no air in the lines only fluid comes out but when i start the car my pedal goes to the floor. i tried to rebleed them all again and still no air but pedal still goes to floor i can pump it a few times and it hardens. the vehicle is a 1990 nissan stanza. automatic 2.4liter engine. befor the brakes worked fine pedal went about a 1/4th in then caught and stopped i also replaced the pads. any one have a solution. also when bleeding i started with PR,DR,PF,DF wheels

You can try gravity bleeding them and see if that helps, just open up one bleeder and let it drip. It takes a while cuz its slow and keep an eye on the master cyl. Use the order you posted, also make sure the rear brks are adjusted up.
