I saw you mentioned a mitt vac before but never seen or heard of that before. I am doing it manually. First I let them gravity bleed then I went around and around and around bleeding them and nothing.

Manual or air powered. Makes life a lot easier on brake bleeding.
You can get these fairly cheap at Harbor Freight,Northern Tools,etc.

I could not get it to bleed. I replace all the calipers and the master cylinder and still could not get it, I took it to a local garage and he put the old master cylinder on and got it to bleed. The new one was bad out of the box. Just wanted to let you know.

And I just thought only the after market Chinese electronics were bad.Looks like the Chinese mechanical parts are hit and miss also.

No I wasn't blaming you. I didn't mean for it to come across like that. I just wanted to let you know which one I bought. I am trying to send it back and the seller is giving me a hard time. Worst case 28 bucks insnt that much to be out if I gotta eat it. I appreciate all your help!

Getting to where some of the cheap aftermarket stuff isn't worth messing with. Especially if they give you a hassle on returning defective parts.
