Brake Bleeding Problems
I installed my Crown lines today and bled all 4 lines (starting with rear pass. working closer to the MC). With NO air coming out i figured that they were good. Got in for a test drive, FLOORED the pedal. Got out, checked MC fluid level (a little low but not below "MIN" mark), add fluid, RE-bled the lines, get in, SAME CRAP! Get out one more time, add fluid, RE-bled the lines AGAIN (still NO AIR), back in, FLOORED the pedal once again....
What the hell is going on with this? I've been changing brake lines on Jeeps, and bled brakes on numerous different cars for years now with no issues.
Any ideas?

i don't man. i don't know how you could bleed the lines and there not be any air and if you're hitting the floor with the pedal, there's clearly air somewhere. you may need to have it power bled. the dealership uses a scan tool to electronically bleed each brake and sometimes, this is necessary to fix problems.
