I recently replaced front pads, calipers, rotors, & bleed the the system. And found out the brake pedal is almost to the floor. It only gets higher for about an inch after pumping the pedal 3 times. The master cyl. (Rebuilt) was replaced few months ago with lifetime war. So I replaced the master cyl. Again 2 days ago, and bleed the whole system again. Rear brakes were also replaced along with wheel cyl. Few months ago. No leaks, everything looks good. Should I try again another master cyl? Or could it be a bad brake booster. I hate to spend a part & find out that it did'nt solve the problem. I don't know what power bleeding is? Is this what what I need to do? If so, can you kindly tell me how to do it? Your advice will be very much appreciated.

Check and adjust the rear brakes
ask a helper to pump the brake for you 3 to 5 times and hold
open rear right bleeder repeat that until good fluid flow with no air
keep an eye on the fluid don’t let it run out
move on to front left and do the same then rear left and front right
good luck
