a lot of people say you need the tech2 scanner for s10s ive done so many and have never needed a scan tool. bleed at the mastercylinder lines first, do both maybe like 6 times or a few times after air stops coming off. then bleed at the abs lines if you can get at them then bleed the backs again then the fronts.

also theres always a chance that some of the brakes are installed incorrectly. rears way out of adjustment or something screwy up front
