Ive been continuosly trying to bleed this brake system after replacing the distribution block with a new one, LF caliper - new and the punch marks that volvo put in both lined up so it must have been rebuilt correctly. also when i replaced the claiper i pinched off the flex hoses, so ive tried replacing those and still a spongy pedal.Also ive tried 2 new master cylinders
Ive been using the bleeding procedure from a haynes manual LR, LFupper, RF upper, RR, RF outer then inner, LF outer then inner.
Ive used an assistant to pump up the pedal and i crack the bleeder loose.
then ive put a rubber hose in a bottle left the bleeder open and pumped the pedal a bunch of times and then shut the bleeder.
nothing seems to be working

on a new master cylinder, could pushing the brake pedal all the way to the floor ruin the seals? I would think not, but as u can see i am grasping for answers.
