no pressure in brakes!!

ive bled them over and over..car on car off

it takes forever to stop...new pads...

the pedal still comes back up on its own...when i bleed the brakes, the pressure is insane...then i get to drive it and its crazy spongy again...

ya, there is no leak. for sure.

i heard the rear brakes need to be bled as well, but ive never done that bfore, how do i bleed them. same as the front? so the ebrake needs to be pumped? that would suck.

You bleed the backs the same as the fronts, no e-brake. It takes more time for the backs due to the extra travel of the fluid. When you install new things sometimes older parts related to it go out that werent working as hard before the new part was installed.
