Brakes

Guest

I have a 73L and my brakes worked adequately but I wanted to improve brake performance. So I purchased new brake pads from Porterfields. During the process of installing them the driver side rear caliper had a stuck bleeder valve that broke off. Tried an e-z-out and it too broke off in the caliper! I then purchased a used caliper from someone.
Installed the rear caliper, installed the new brake pads, added new fluid, and bleed the entire system. After all this the brake peddle just goes to the floor, very little resistance. Yes the reservoir is full of brake fluid. When I press the brake pedal, I here air escaping from around the booster. I can feel air escaping from the bottom area between the booster and the reservoir. Don't know what to do next. Need suggestions on how to fix.
