theres no pressure in my brake pedal even though the lines were blead and pads replaced but there was pressure before the new pads were put on what else could be the problem
My brakes were changed on my car but now thereis no pressure?
sounds like there is still air in the lines. can you %26quot;pump%26quot; them up to get hard? could be (but prob.not), bad master cylinder.
did a cert. mechanic bleed the brakes or weekend warrior? alot of people i know %26quot;think%26quot; they know how to bleed brakes and they really dont.

You've still got air in the lines.
Keep bleeding them sometimes on older cars it takes awhile,it also be your master cylinder
adjust the rear brakes pump up the pedal when you start getting a pedal re-bleed the brakes starting at the furthest one from the master cylinder r/r then to l/r then r/f then l/f and you should be good
It could be that once you went to reapply the brakes that you did not refill enough brake fluid. Try adding more fluid and then pump the brakes manually, cause the brake pedal might be stuck all the way down and you may need to pull it up.
It is possible that the seals on the Master Cylinder or the brake seals came off during the brake job or after. If it is in the Master Cylinder, you will have to replace it, which would cost you like in the $100 to $200 range. If it is the brake seals, it should be cheaper. Take it back to where they did the brake job, if it wasn't too long ago, and tell them the problem, and ask them to check those items. It's extremely dangerous to drive the car in that condition, so don't.
Either someone didn't bleed the brakes the proper way, the master cylinder is bad, or the master cylinder has air in it. It is important when you bleed brakes that the person pumping the pedal keeps it pushed to the floor until the other person has tightened the bleeder screw. otherwise air will be sucked back into the brake line. Also you have to keep an eye on your brake fluid reservoir to make sure you don't run out of fluid while your bleeding the brakes, or any time period.
You could have a few different problems.
On disc brakes you could have a bad caliper.
Check for fluid on your tires and the ground.
On drum brakes you could have a bad wheel cylinder.
Check for fluid on the tires and the ground for this type also.
It could be a bad master cylinder too.
Check for fluid around the master cylinder.
It could also be that you do have air in the lines but you didn't say that either the caliper(s) or wheel cylinder(s) were replaced and this is the only way air can enter the system during a brake job. If you did replace any of these item's then bleed them more and in the proper order. RR - LR - RF - LF
If you have drum brakes did you adjust them after installing the new shoes? That could be part of the problem.
