My brakes don't work.
 
I put on new brake pads and had to open the lines to drain out some brake fluid. And now even after I bled the lines I have no pressure in them and the pedal goes flat to the floor. Any suggestions on what I might need to do, they worked fine before I touched them. If I pump the pedal really fast I can get a tiny bit of pressure but not much. By the way I have a 1990 Acura Integra GS.

Check your procedure & try again. Did you bleed all 4?

I bled all four, I might try bleeding again, but I also made an appointment to have it looked at, I've spent so much time I just want it taken care of.

bleed em again and try to see if theres any bolts you missed

after you bleed em, put in more brake fluid. Keep pumping until the pressure comes back

brakes
 
Have you checked the pressure coming from the master?

bleed, refill, bleed refill. if you're tightening everything down right... you should get pressure back after a few good bleeds.

yea screw it! who needs brakes anyways!.....just do what the flinstones do and youll be fine

you know that when you take off the brake pads.. that you have to put the same amount of pressure back onto them before you bleed them. so you would need a C-clamp to actually push then back down into the housing.. and if you dont do that then you are pretty much just wasting all your brake fluid!
