ABS brakes. put 4 new brake pads. Had to take rear caliper out to free piston. the reservoir's fluid went too low. I bled the system, taking negative cable off the battery, bled master cylinder (2 lines) then in this sequence R rear, L front, L rear and R front brakes.
I did it 4 times. Pedal still spongy and seems like it still has air in the system. The brakes were great before I changed them. Confused and disgusted. Help!!!
