I cannot bleed the front brakes. The rear brakes work but the front wont bleed. I just replaced one of the rear brake lines. The pedal will go to the floor after bleeding the brakes and wont build pressure. The rear brakes seem fine and will slow the car but the front wont.

Loosen the brake line at one of the front hoses if youget pressure there the hoses are probably bad. Also you could have frozen calipers or the bleeders are clogged, take them out and clean dirt out of them then bleed the calipers.
