The m/c needs to be changed now. All of the bleeding over the past year probably took it out.
The brake work on my car has been a war. For the past 2 months it's been on jackstands. Either I didnt have the right part and would wait for it to ship out, or something would break.

Today was the bleeder screw, which was shipped broken to me (thanks, A1 cardone) an Ez-out work on it, and I replaced it with a valve from the old calipers (which I cant get the core on now)

and THEN

I goto bleed the brakes with my powerbleeder, only to realize that the cap's the wrong size....
