Front brakes help!

Could be a plugged nipple

If it came out the threads and not the hole on the nipple then that's wrong

Hate to give you more work but swap the nipple and bleed it. I would also replace the lines and retest it. Do not trap air in the abs module

Nah at this point I am willing to do anything to make it work.

So buy a new brake line, and a new bleeder valve? Then bleed it? I know for a fact that it came out the threads and not the nipple.

New lines yes. If you got the old calipers I'm sure 1 of them work. Clean it with a wire brush.

Could be more than one problem here and though the questions I asked about bearings were for my benefit - when I come to replace my rotors - there's possibly something from the info provided that is relevant here.
That is, old caged rollers installed in rotors with new races - why were the caged rollers not supplied? Or did you remove the old races from the old rotors and re-use them also?

As a quick test clean one of the old nipples and just replace it and bleed it. Then see if it works. If it does then you know what it wa . If it doesn't then you know that as well

man I truly am learning stuff the hard way. I got rid of the old calipers already so I will have to go get a new one....sucks.

about the races, I am not sure about that. Maybe they asked about it? I dont remember but I just reused the old bearings on the new racings. But now I have new bearings on new racings. Just how it came to be I guess.

I tried to bleed it fully but the bleeder valve had nothing coming out of it. The brakes still seem to work however they arent as firm as they were.

Solve this first. Take the line loose from the caliper and make sure fluid flows though it unobstructed. Then attach it to the caliper, remove the bleeder, and make sure fluid flows out of the bleeder hole unobstructed. Then install the bleeder and make sure it bleeds.
