Master cylinder is going to have to be removed from vehicle and bench bleed from there you can attempt to put back on vehicle and bleed the brakes.

You need a helper
or a pressure bleeder
have a helper pump it and pump it the hold
open bleeder and let the air out
do it until no air present in the line
mean while keep eye on fluid level in the master cylinder
if doing 4 tires
start at rear right then front left then rear left front right
good luck

I am trying to change the rear brake pads. The pads are into to the drum and I cannot remove the drum. How do I loosen the self adjusting screw when there is no hole or port to access the screw?

Here is a picture of what I gathered off of ALLDATA. There should be a knockout stamped in the drum. The only other option is grinding/shearing off the heads of the holddown pins, or prying until the holdown spring washers pull through.

The car started making noises from the back right side. After looking under the back of the car, there is a line that runs from the left wheel to the right wheel. The right side where the line/wire connects to the right side is hanging down. It looks like it is connected to a ball shaped object. (I'm not sure if thats considered the ball baring or not?)

It sounds like your brakeline or electrical wire may have been partially torn off. Take it to a pro and he can probably get it back on the axle right.

I was bleeding my brakes on my vehicle whichis a 1995 pontiac grand am, and didn't pay attention and bled out the entire reservoir by accident. I filled up the reservoir and now we cannot regain pressure or get fluid threw the forward left line, I know this seems really stupid, but some help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated

Remove resevoir and master cylinder from brake booster and crack open all bleeder valves. After that is done bench bleeder master cylinder untill no more air. From there put cylinder back on vehicle. Hook up lines and proceed to bleed the brakes. Do you have pressure now?
