Hi, I am goin nuts with this car! I would hit the brakes and the steering wheel would go to the right so i thought i would replace the rubber hoses at the caliper thinkin it swelled shut, did that and tried to bleed the system and now i cant get a pedal at all. I took it to a pro and he says that the abs pump is bad because there is fluid going into the abs pump when he hits the pedal but nothing commin out of the pump. I tried it at home and he was right so i got and new pump "costs as much as the car" hooked up the lines to the inlet side of the new pump and bled it till all the air was out and hooked up the outlet lines going to the wheels. bled and bled at all 4 wheels "1 gallon of fluid" and no air. Now i have rear only brakes and nothing up front so i hooked up the air sucker to the front caliper nipples and sucked and sucked never seeing air and still no fronts. The abs lite is on now where it wasnt before i replaced the pump. Now i'm lost and any help would be great.Amazing what changing a couple of hoses can do!

Confused,
John
