In the beginning I just pushed the brake once and the brakes released. But later I tried to push the brake maybe 15 times and then it didn't release properly. Probably this is what happens in trafic. Everytime I push the brakes they rub a little more. When I replaced the right rear hose the brakes was easy to bleed, but when I replaced the left front hose I must have gotten air straight into the master cylinder. Me and my father (he does the pedal pushing) gave up yóCN trying to bleed the brakes, but we will try again tonight.
