I effed up

Changed out my pads and rotors and figured I'd change my break fluid and now iv got no brakes at all. I know it's most likely air in the line and my calipers not putting pressure on the pads. What's gonna be the best way to fix this bitch

 

Bleed the brakes, you have the answer right there in your post.

I bled them last night and lost my rear breaks as well as the fronts. How many times should I have to do it ?

 

Until all the air is out. Make sure you don't suck the master cylinder dry while bleeding, right back to square one.

 

If done correctly you only need to do it once.

Thank you.

 

Get a vacuum brake bleeder, and you can do this job as a one man. Start at the wheel furthest from the MC and work to the closest. A quart should probably do...

Only once? But seriously, take your time and do not let the reservoir get close to empty. There are several types of kits to make it a one-man job.
It only takes a small bubble to absorb the pressure.

 

Bleed of ABS system is tricky if you dont have computer.
What you need is to find spot with slippery surface (Snow, Grass, Gravel)
Get some speed and hammer brakes until ABS kicks in.
That should bleed valve inside the ABS unit.
You may have to do lines again afterwards.

Order (It goes from Shortest to longest line. because you dont want to push air to longest line while bleeding short one, so always start with shortest and do longest lines last)

1. Front Pass side
2. Front Driver side
3. Rear Driver side
4. Rear Pass side.

Here is a procedure from FSM ...

allright guy thanks im gonna try this again after class and get it straightened out

 

Are you using a siphon? or a one way check valve?

I've had check valves that leaked and allowed air back in before, only reason I ask.

 

All is good there was a whole lotta air in it

 

Nice!

 

if only you had a TRD OR 4x4 with atrac.... bleeding brakes is about the easiest thing ever thanks to the electric accumulator pump... it will literally bleed a fully dry line in 30 seconds for you with one long push of the pedal.

that stated i always thought it was longest line first. either way if you got a good amount of air in the system especially with the separate ABS unit found on your truck its gonna be kind of a pain to get it all out.
