Changed struts and cv joints..now brakes dont work?

I have a 1992 toyota corolla, I was replacing most of the left front end, I did the cv joints, the struts, and the ball joint. When I was done putting everything back together i went to make sure the brakes worked, since it was one of the last things to go back on...well they dont. I tried bleeding them, but there isnt even any pressure in the line. I filled the brake fluid and everything,but the pedal still pushes easily to the floor, and even with it to the floor someone can turn the tire with their hands no problem

Did you twist the line putting it back on? You may just have the line pinched off. Take a look and you'll know right away. You should just have to untwist it.

often when you take one thing apart something else goes .always go back to basics if you have no brake pressure the master cylinder is junk or needs to be blead stop chasing ghosts and go to the begining you can bleed the master on the car with two pieces of short line run them directly into the cylinder and pump the brakes if it dont work its junk personally i would just go buy a new M-C there not usualy that expensive ps-bleed it before you install it good luck chicky KEITH FROM OSSIPEE NH
