First, I had no fluid in the brake lines at all, and no pressure whatsoever at pedal. Tried to fix this by replacing master cylinder. Then tried to pressure bleed, which ended up blowing the seals in ABS pump (I used only the pressure recommended in the service manual). Have now replaced ABS pump, after which the front right and left rear now have fluid and bleed fine. However, I still have almost no fluid showing at the front left bleeder, and none whatsoever at the right rear. Even opening the bleeders and leaving them open for several days -- hoping to gravity bleed, letting any air bubbles be pushed out -- has not worked. Endlessly pumping the pedal will produce some fluid at the left front, but none at all at the right rear. I have traced both lines all the way from the ABS pump to the wheels....there are no kinks in the lines. I'm very reluctant to use the pressure bleeder again (at recommended levels), and using it at a lower pressure level has not yet produced any fluid at those two corners anyway. What is going on?? I have to get this car fixed as soon as possible, and I'm at a loss.
