Apparently I'm a brake bleedin' ignoramus!

Hey all...

I replaced the front calipers and pads on the front of a '74 240d. I used the pump-and-hold, 2 person method of bleeding the lines and now have jet streams of brake fluid coming from the front bleed screws.

Well, there are still absolutely zero brakes (i.e. the pedal goes to the floor). I decided to bleed the rear lines and they are barely dripping out fluid, even after 6 or 7 repetitions.

How is it that the front brakes are shooting out fluid but not working? Is there air behind this jetstream?

And I have checked both halves of the MC reservoir...
