I replaced my rear calipers last night, becuase one of them was sticking, got the replaced, and then bled the brakes, with a one man bleeder system I got from autozone. I'm assuing I bled them correctly,, but now I have no brake pressure. The pedal goes all the way to the floor, and I can barely stop. My master cylinder was fine, I am hoping it still is.

Anyone have any ideas?

try the two man bleeding method. then check the master cylinder. can you pump the brakes to create pressure?

I got the brakes fully bled this time, I can pump the pedal fast, and it will build some pressure, but then as soon as I stop, the pedal goes back to the floor.

Did you bleed front ant back? And did you do it with 2 people the second time? If you did the previous 2, then your master went. Happens sometimes when you bleed brakes or even on occasion if the brake caliper pistons are pushed back in when doing a brake job.
