Alright I changed the pads machined the front rotors, new rotors on the rear...now the brakes don't seem to want to bleed... Rear driver and front passenger will gravity bleed but the front driver and rear passenger won't they seem to take air in..? Now with a helper the front passenger and rear driver squirt but the front passenger and rear driver barely drip and that's while saying step on it,then opening,then as the slow drip slowed closing the valve and saying let off...these two don't seem to want to bleed?!? Super spongy pedal with the car to on and/or with it running stiffens up a little when the car is off...help please...

bakes? someone makin cookies?

how many times is you helper pumping the pedal? should pump it 3-4 times to get some pressure, tell him to hold the pedal down, then crack one of the back bleeders. you probably have lots of air and its coming out of the rear bleeders

if after multiple bleeds nothing comes out of the rear, there might be something wrong with the master cylinder

Bleeding takes patience, and a routine - once you get it down, you'll be fine.
Keep the reservoir full -
Pump up brakes
Open bleeder while partner had foot on brake - they do not let off until you tell them. You open the valve, some squirts out, close it, tell them to pump it up and repeat - always checking the reservoir. Keep doing so until all clean fluid and no bubbles come out.
Sometimes it takes a while - best to work with furthest brake line from the master first.
Oh - I like to attach a small hose to the nipple, the other end of the hose runs into a water bottle (or similar) with the end in the fluid - makes it super easy to see when there are no more bubbles, and it's a lot cleaner than just letting the brake fluid go everywhere, it eats paint like mad (unless you want it too).
Good luck!!!!

The bleeder valve might be clogged/rusty in the inside.

brakes are a closed system, there should be no solid material in the lines

Start at the further point and work your way fwd! I start at the passenger rear, then the driver's rear, passenger front and last but not least driver's front!

Check that the parking brake cable is not sticking and can slide freely. If it's not the cable, then you have a seized caliper on that wheel - rebuild or replace it.

Its a caliper pin..the main piston was moving fine but one of the caliper pins was sticking,opened that one up it was all nasty inside,cleaned it out with denatured alcohol,filed of sharp spots left by precious owner pulling it with lock jaws ,the boot had little pinholes from these sharp spots,new boot will be here tomorrow
