Hey guys i am having brake problems.Put a new booster and master cylinder on my 73'camaro.I did bench bleed the master cylinder prior to mounting it on the booster.I still don't have the brakes i'm lookin for so i bled them at the fittings.On the front passenger side the fitting must be frozen on the caliper it won't turn so i bled it at the hose connected at the caliper.Now after about(5)pumps i have a little pedal but no where close to safe operating range.Do i need to continue pumping and bleeding or what? Thanx 4 any help.

Yes, takes alot a fluid to get the air out.

Soak the fitting with some penatrating fluid. You need to get it loose to get the air out. You might be able to get brakes without it. But they will never be right.

fitting? - do you mean the brake bleeder fitting?

if you can't get the bleeder screws to come loose, then go spend $30 for a pair of reman calipers and be done with it.
