hello in need of some help, i took my calipers off to paint and refitted them fine, came to bled them and theres no air in braking system but still pedal doesnt feel right whenn i depress it, also i hear a whining noise when pushin the pedal down appears to be coming from master cylinder/servo is this pointing to the seals being fucked?, i cant see how all i did was clamp the brake lines and that was that all lines are ok, dont see no reason to do the back brakes as the handbrake was on and not touched them but bearing in mind the car had sat for around a year previous to me jus gettin it thanks in advance

Your supposed to bleed them starting from the rear furthest away from the master cylinder.

Have you put the calipers back on the right way? Nipples at the top.

best to bleed them all put a litre through and get all the old fluid out and get it clear and no bubbles , had a mission when I fitted my v6 fronts, had to do the rears aswell to get good pedal feel.
