RE: bad brakes
hmm, not sure this will help, but this was from experience with my Expedition.
Last fall, the salt ended up eating the brake lines off the thing (yeah, I wash the underneath 2-3 times a year NOW). Anyways, I ended up bleeding the masterfirst then the farthest to closest wheel untilI got the peddle back. Make sure you keep the master full at all times. One slip and you'll be starting from the top...master....RR, LR, LF, and LR [:-]
You have a ton of air in the lines (assuming you don't have a leak somewhere). Keep on pumpin...get a friend and a 6 pack.
Editidn't ask but what procedure areyou using; two people orbleeder pump. The pumps don't work very well unless you apply that clear grease/sealer on the bleeder valve threads. I am assuming this is not the first time you have bled brakes.
