Well, Ive bleed my brakes 11 times now, getting bubbles in the back every time. Ive replaced both front brake lines, and replaced all the brake fluid. The front left caliper has been replaced. Still the brakes arent working correctly.

Im not sure what the heck is going on. One thing: the left rear brake didnt push much [if any] fluid out the last time I bleed it. Im going to see if its clogged somewhere, and if not then Im guessing my only choice left is to replaced the master cylender. Should I rebuild it, or buy a rebuilt one from NAPA?
