Did you open the bleeder screws at all. If not you may not need to bleed the brakes just pump the pedal to bring the caliper pistons out and your pedal should feel fine. If you just want to blled anyways open all your bleeder srews and as the fluid level in your brake master cylider goes down refill with new dot 3 brake fluid (do not alow the master cylider to drain completely). Close bleeders when you get clean fluid through. Start at passenger rear corner and have a buddy press the brake pedal down. open bleeder, close bleeder after squirt of fluid then have buddy release pedal. Do this a couple of time per corner. Go from pass rear to drivers rear then pass. front ending with driver front. You just flushed your brake fluid. Hope this helps.

1995 Maxima/ rear right brake not working/ new caliper,rotor,pads,and rubber line getting fluid when bleeding

I guess my first question would be are you getting a strong fluid flow at the bleeder screw ? Keep in mind I am not there in person - you should have an equalizer valve, probably in the master cylinder that could be restricting flow. Is there a chance something is going on with the ABS system ?

I am replacing the front rotors and pads on a 95 pathfinder. do I need to bleed the brake lines completely for all 4 rotors? Is there some order I need to do this?

Why wouldn't you bleed all 4?

You need to do that every 2 years on all vehicles

Aways start at the farthest

I have a maxima 1993 I change brake pump and booster and front pads and rear choose.. And the brake pedal keeps going down a little by little. It's like if was loosing some presure.. Some where.. Not so...

if you are losing peddle and their are no leaks in the system, meaning you have to keep adding fluid then you have an internal leak in the master cylinder . if it was just air in the lines, not bleed right you would have a spongey peddle meaning it would stop but the peddle would feel like rubber, or it would pull to one side

Spongy brakes

Make sure the brake hoses are not colasped and holding pressure on the brake liners,and if the hoses are fine,then replace the master cylinder.

Brake to the floor in order to stop. they are new

make sure the rear shoes are manually adjusted up properly ,then is still no good renew the master cylinder because the seal between the front and rear chambers could have gone ,but i do feel that you should manually adjust the rear brakes up properly,slacken handbrake cable before you do this though

Back right brake caliper leaking brake fluid

Sounds like the brake line is just rusted, you'll probably have to change the brake line and then bleed the brakes

What tools will i need to change the front and back brakes on a 95 mustang V6 would like to get the tools up before i jack up the car and take wheels off then have to put them back on to run to parts...

My 1995 mustang uses a 13 mm socket for the front calipers. I used a screwdriver to pry the pads back before removing the calipers, easier than using the C-clamp method.
As for the back brakes if you have the shoe type brakes you will need a brake shoe adjusting tool to loosen the adjusters.
Probably a good sized 2-4 pound hammer.
Slip joint plyers.
A 5/16 -3/8 wrench for the bleeder screws depending on the one you have. I didn't need to bleed mine as I was able to remove the shoes without disturbing the wheel cylinders.
If you need to bleed the brakes a good bleeding kit or 2 people that can work together pumping and bleeding the brakes .
hope this helps.
As always I would refer the a good shop manuals such as Motor, Haynes or Chiltons.
