Some of you have seen my post in the Mechanical section on my brakes before the summer....My brakes are still not working

The problem is....I bleed my brakes forever, re-filling the resivoir with fluid, and their seems to be no pressure at all, I know how to bleed the brakes...someone told me how like holding in the lever while I un-do the valve and let the air out. I have done this alot of times and have not succeeded. The pads were new in February, and I always sand off the glaze with sandpaper. The lines have no hols in them, I have checked them over many of times. But up on the resivoir their are 2 tiny holes where the filler cap meets the resivoir on each side...I don't know if they are suppose to be there, it looks like it was made like that. When I pull the lever in, bubbles come out of these holes.

Can someone help me???, Please and Thank-You.

Perhaps you need to rebuild your master cylender. My quadsport had the same problem.

Yes I have adjusted it..How is the drum suppose to sit??...Is it suppose to touch the pads while the drums spin?? or on so they are almost touching??

How do I re-build the cylider??...what do I do to re-build it??

I have heard of JB Weld before...it should be at Wal-Mart right??

Yes the pads should be barely touching the drum.Don't worry about rebuilding the drum, a mechanic would probably have to do it.

Today I tried to bleed them again...they gained a bit of pressure but not enough to stop me...I think the wheel cylinders and brake resivoir is causing the brakes to not have any pressure.
