I just replaced my brake lines. Stop tech front and rear. I did everything by the instructions and checked to make sure allt he blolts were tight. No leaks.
I replaced the brake fluid with Motul 600. I had 3 bottles and now I have 0.5 bottle left.
I bled the brakes four - five times but I still don;t have any brakes. It feels like there;s air in the brakes. I have to step on the brakes about 80 percent to get the brakes to start working. At none of the time were I able to get full braking power.
What's the problem. HELPPPPP.

Is that all you replaced were the lines? Did you start from rear passenger...rear driver...front passenger then front driver's side when bleeding the brakes?
Not to sound rude...but, do you know how to bleed brakes?

What means are you bleeding the brakes?
Often times it will appear there is no air in the system but there can be a large trapped air bubble in the brake cailper that has cause I believe the term is capatation(sp?) where the fluid has incased the bubble and will not allow it to bleed out.
I reccomend using a brake bleeding pump to force the air out and make sure you leave negative pressure in the caliper before closing the bleed vavle. Often I seen people removing the pump then closing the vavle all that does and cause the caliper to suck air back in.
I dont know alot on brakes but I learned this lesson while installing 4piston wilwood brakes on my 200sx
