I own a 2002 Mustang GT and I'm having a hard time bleeding my brakes. I recently did a brake swap, i put cobra brakes on the rear, I got this from a 2004 Cobra, I got the brackets, rotors, calipers and brake lines. I started doing the standard procedure i read online, sequence: passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front. So I had a person in the car pump the brake pedal 5 or 6 times, then hold the pedal down, while I open the bleeder valve and fluid and bubbles would come out, also I've been refilling the master cylinder to make sure there's fluid in there, so i did that for a while without any luck. Also I bought one of those brake bleeding kits shown below

Then a friend suggested i bleed the lines that go from the master cylinder to the abs module
Shown below

So after bleeding this lines until only fluid would come out I started the sequence all over, I got the passenger rear and driver rear lines done. I started on the driver front and that's where I'm having a problem, when I open the bleeder very little fluid and a lot, i mean a lot of air comes out, I was on the passenger front line for about an hour and a half and still the same amount of air would keep coming out. I checked for leaks, and didn't find any. So I really don't know what the problem could be.

I would really appreciate if anyone has any advice on what I should do

Thank you!!!

Can you follow those two lines? You seeing any leaks coming from anywhere? Everything on the master buttoned up nice and tight?

Not sure on the 02's but on one of my 98's I had way back in the day I did it the old fashioned way and it took FOREVER! But i couldn't get it bled for the life of me so my dad jacked the front of the car up and we bled and pumpe and bled and pumped and yatta yattta yaaaaaa and then dropped the front and did the front brakes. It took over an hour on the rear and on the front. Barely any bubbles or fluid came out every time but got a little better after a while. Didn't seem like it did anything but they worked great afterwords. Those power bleeders work great if you buy a decent one. I wish I had an answer for ya but my experience has been about the same.

Bleed! Baby Bleed!

You may have to bleed the master cylinder. Some air bubbles may have worked their way up when you had the lines disconnected. Same as bench bleeding. You can do it in the car. Make 2 lines from the service side back up into the reservoir. Make sure ends of lines are in the fluid to not let air back in. Pump brake till no more bubbles are pushed into the reservoir. Reconnect the lines. If you don't have a pressure bleeding gun, auto bleeders or bleed cup. Work the corners in the sequence that you did previously. Crack the bleeder at the wheel cylinder enough to let fluid out when brake is applied slowly. When brake pedal is all the way down cover the bleeder with your finger. Let pedal come all the way up. As brake pedal goes down again release finger pressure. Repeat till all air is out. Key is not to let the air go back in. Fill reservoir as needed.
