ok guys I also changed out my calipers and there is no pressure in the pedal....the pedal goes all the way to the floor with no resistance.
I bled both calipers and there is plenty fluid in the master cylindar.
Help!

Pump the brake pedal with the engine running until the pressure returns, might take a couple minutes to do.

bled the system again(2 man job), check to see if the hose was damage. Make sure the bleeder is on top of the caliper not underneath it.

the water pump fixed the coolant leak btw....it looked totally diff on the inside than the stock one tho.
As far as brakes.
I pumped the dog Sh%$ outta them and they finally tightened up. They stay tight when engine is off but as soon as i start the engine they go all the way to the floor again.
So what does the bleeder screw being below the banjo bolt have to do with

Not necessarily, but they are side specific and need to be on the correct side.

Those bolt on the water pump pully are a bit#$ to get off. Cut the sh$% out of my hands.

Ya, the bleeders have to be on top, that's the only way you're going to get the air out.

I flipped around to the right sides this morning and bled them twice both sides with a one man bleeder....they are definitely tighter but still goes to the floor after pressing them in for a few seconds.
Keep bleeding?

Mine have never been tight not since I first bought the car, and the dealer is the ones who kept looking at it and said everything was fine, oh and also after chargeing me like 300 to tighten the e-brake, thats a load of crap considering its just a disc that needs to be turned to tighhtened behind the rotor on the rear right.
