Default Front Brake Issue

Hey folks,
First things first. 1995 Disco 1. Everything worked great when I began my brake repair. I replaced both front calipers, rotors, pads, short brake lines on caliper, and bearings (inner/outer). I have almost zero brakes after bleeding almost 2 quarts through the fronts. It did sit for almost a week with the brake lines disconnected, fyi. I bled a second quart of fluid last night and thought I would be good to go this morning. NOPE. The brake pedal hits the floor before it begins to brake. Is there another part of the system that would need bled? Thanks for the replys in advance.

Have you bled the rear brakes? You will probably need to do a full system bleed. Rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver. In that order. Once you get all the crappy fluid out you can start recycling the good fluid through to get all the air out.

I only did the fronts as those were the only two corners I repaired. Remember that I had full brakes before this project. I believe I should have some brakes after a full front end bleed. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. Ill do a full brake bleed soon as I can. Thanks for the help.
