Default HELP unsure of whats worng with brakes


ok guys here goes ( i drive a 89 civic sedan )

ok i was putting on suspension about a month ago and the rear passenger side lca bushing rusted to the bolt causing it to destroy the bushing and breaking the bolt in the process

so what i was going to do to fix the problem was to swap over the whole trailing arm brake assembly to my sedan to fix all this so what i did was i took the whole drum apart and then found out that the bushing on my crx was worse

and the car sat for about 3 weeks

in the mean time i swapped in a tilt steering wheel and accidentally hit the brake pedel with my head which caused the little cylender in the backing plate of the drum to pop the seal causing it to leak brake fluid very badly

so i took it to my work and ive been working on it all day cuz im getting it liscenced friday

i installed a whole new drum brake assembly and bleed all the brakes about 18 times and it still has no pressure in the pedal until 3/4 of the way to the floor

so is it a stuck proportioning valve, a bad master, or should i just keep bleeding it?

either way this goes i have the parts cuz i have a good master on my crx that im crushing on sunday and same with the proportioning valve

please let me know your opinion
feel free to call me or send me a text

well i figured it all out and it ended up being that my proportioning valve was stuck and that the adjuster had some how come off of one of the drums

and there is a small amount of air in the lines but it will still squell to a stop if i ask it to which is a good thing =)
