yeah, get a buddy. one pumps the brakes and holds it down. the other cracks the valve until the pedal hits the floor. hold pedal down, close valve. repeat. go to other side. repeat
if it does, there are problems other than pad/shoes/calipers.DO NOT allow the master cylinder to run dry during this process!
there are supposed to be copper washers between the lines and the calipers.i tightened them pretty tight. whats line wrenches? and there wasnt any washers.....
I lol'dmaybe you cross threaded the lines when screwing them into the calipers. in that case, guess what? u need new calipers again! it doesn't take that much torque to make a brake line seal tightly. if you are cranking on it and it's still leaking, you're screwed.
