HI I have tried bleeding my brakes today and keep ending up with a sponge pedal which gets close to floor boards .And can anyone tell me the correct bleeding sequence I have three manuals including Haynes and they all tell me a different sequence which is not helping .Brakes are all new ,including master cylinder and have been using a pump bleeding kit ,Thanks Help Please !!

I find clamping the rear T piece flexi helps to start.

Bleed front(once you have pedal clamp both fronts off)
Remove rear clamp & bleed these once done remove all clamps & see if ok.

Have you got the shoes wound out on the snails ?
