Put new brake hoses on and can't get pedal

[usetaboost]

Put new brake hoses on the front, filled the res, can't get the pedal to pump up. Goes to the floor every time. I get a little dribble of fluid when I crack the bleeder open, can't tell if its just gravity bleeding though. Is there a secret way of bleeding brakes on a powermaster set up? Never dealt with this system before so idiot terms would be great!

If you are talking about the lines (hoses) on going to the front wheels from the frame, then you should only have to bleed the wheels.

If you allowed the fluid bowl on the P/M to drain empy while you replaced the lines, then you need to 'bench bleed' the mastercylinder portion on the P/M. You can do this as you would any other master cylinder, just be sure the acc ball is pumped down (10 pedal pumps with the key off).

You have to bench bleed first.

Once you have doen this, bleed the wheels the same as you would any other standard system without ABS.
