check for fluid before and after the proportioning valve by disconnection the line after the valve and applying the brakes, if no fluid after valve try before valve if fluid is there then it is a bad proportioning valve. you did bleed the master cylinder before connecting the brake line and trying to bleed the brakes all at once right? If the master cylinder was not bled first then a lot of air may have been forced into the rest of the brake lines.

your probably going to have to bleed the entire system.1st try & bleed the master cyl.
basicly the same as you would bleed the front/rear brakes. pump pedal & hold while someone
loosen the brake line on the master cyl. after m/c is bleed move to r/r,l/r,r/f,l/f wheels in
that order. if you have abs brakes & you got air in the pump a scan tool may be needed
to bleed properly.

Bleeding the slave cylinder is done just like bleeding your brake system.Just be sure that you keep enough fluid in the master cylinder so that you don't have to do it all over.Also make sure you have a steady stream of fluid.as you would with your brakes.

sometimes if you leave the bleeder screw open it will gravity bleed the cylinder.Make sure master cyl is full and do one wheel at a time.I have seen this work, I have done it.

You do not have to bleed them at all. Remove the cap off the master cylinder and you can then compress the caliber to remove the old pads and install new ones. No need to belled unless you replace the master cylinder or a caliber.

fill master cylinder, slowly close of brake lines to be sure you have pressure from master cylinder, pump brakes to check master, check that calipers were seated in housing properly

Start with right rear then left rear,then right front then lft front,Would rebleed at master cylinder 1st.

your proportioning valve is sticking. try pressure bleeding front this should help it move back might wanna tap on it with a hammer also.this is the valve whre all the lines go in and come out
