changed rotors and pads on a 92 explorer as i inspected the calipers when i took them off one had been through a few too many high heat cycles so i went ahead and replaced both calipers also. everything went fine on the right (passenger) side. got to the left (driver) side and there is where my troubles began.

after bleeding the right side the truck had a good petal. then i changed the caliper on the left and never got the petal back. the truck had already had a new master cylinder that was still under warrenty so i went ahread and replaced it again to make sure it hadnt been damaged internally (person helping bleed the system was stomping the petal too hard until i realized she was doing it). ive bled 3 of the small cans of brake fluid through the truck tring to make sure there is no air left in the line and still no pressure to the front. i can see the calipers pulseing a very little when the brake is pushed so there is some pressure going to the front but not alot.

the truck is 4x4 front disc rear drum it only has rear abs and yes the calipers are on correctly the piston is to the inside of the rotor.

any help is apreceiated

thanks in advanced
