Hi Chris, The brake system is basically very simple. If you have duel braking on your vehicle, the usual method is having two brakes operate on the front with for example the left rear and the other system will also operate two front and the right rear. This type of system will have two calipers on each of the front wheels. The tandem system works in a slightly different way, having the forward part of the cylinder pressurizing the rear brakes and the rear part of the cylinder pressurizing the front. I think under the circumstances you are describing, I would have a friend sit inside and pump the brakes repeatedly until the system becomes pressurized (maybe twenty thirty times of pumping the brake pedal) and then ask him or her to keep it pushed firmly down until you find out where its leaking. The amount of brake fluid you report having been sed would indecate a severe leakage. Check the lower parts of the rear wheels for signs of leaking wheel cylinders and then dito for the front wheels. Any signs of wetness at these areas and along the brake system (the plumbing or pipe work) will indicate where the leakage is. If you cannot identify a wheel which is leaking, carefully inspect around and blow the master cylinder and if this no sign go along the fluid lines, taking special note of where the damaged pipe was repaired. If there is a blockage in the line, air may be trapped at that point causing difficulty in pressurizing. Once the place of leakage has been identified it must be attended to before bleeding the system. When bleeding, begin with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder, and work your way back to the master cylinder one wheel at a time, until you reach the closest.Keep in mind that you may find it required to pump the pedal many many times before opening the bleed nipple.Regards John

How do i bleed a 1996 buick park avenue

Right rear first, do with engine running. LF next. left rear to right front. you may need to manually reset the proportional valve located under master cylinder. your brake lines go to this first before heading to the wheels, one side will have a rubber protector on it push it in to reset it.

Brake lines by rear door on drivers side are a common failure point. lines under door failing can cause a total brake failure. Just replace and bleed the lines.

1991 buick park avenue brake problems got bleed the brakes on the drivers side front and rear not a problem but the passenger side front cant get the air out keeps spitting fluid and have use a half b

If you have a manual for your vehicle, check how to bleed the system. Certain vehicles need to be bled in a certain order of sequence. If you are using a one man bleeding kit, when you don't see air bubbles in the clear tube but see only fluid, then it is bled properly.

How do I bleed the brake lines for a 1998 buick park avenue?

The same way you would bleed them on a '97 Buick PA... Just kidding :). Make sure the master cylinder reservoir is full. Have a helper pump the brakes until they feel some resistance or the pedal no longer goes to the floor. Open the bleeder screw on a rear wheel cylinder or front caliper. The brake pedal should drop. Have your helper hold down the pedal until you have a chance to close the bleeder. Repeat the process until you get no air from that bleeder. Move on to the next bleeder and do it again. Repeat the process until all 4 bleeders are done. Make sure you check the fluid level in the master cylinder frequently.

My 1991 buick park avenue brakes dont work and there is no presure when i hit the brake pedel and i checked that theres no air pressure how do i fix it

this sounds like your master cylinder has gone out, Located on the fire wall on the drivers side of the car ,, if your fluid level is good, and you detect no fluid leaks at the wheel cylinders, this is the most likely problem

I bought a new master cylinder and tried to bleed the brakes, but two of them would not bleed while the other two bled just fine. the drivers side front and the passengers side rear would not bleed. Any...

Yes, you have to pre bleed the M/C. After market parts stores sell a kit that allows you to bleed it easily....It is difficult to get air to go downhill.

after prebleeding M/C, do not let it run dry while bleeding the brakes.

I'm not sure if the rear drum brakes on my 1991 Buick Park Avenue were assembled right and I have leakage.

The leakage usually comes from a defective brake cylinder, or a poorly sealed brake line (there is a copper gasket that needs to be replaced when the unit is serviced. If the old gasket is used, it will leak.
