When i step on the brake pedal it goes all the way to the floor but if i pump it while stopping it builds up pressure. I was thinking either master cylinder or one of the wheel cylinders in the back. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Maybe one of the rear steel lines going to the drum busted......i had two that did that to me......adjust the rear brakes as well...and see if you still got fluid

Nope i figured out the problem. It was the passenger side rear wheel cylinder. I took the wheel off and theres brake fluid all over everything.

so i replaced the wheel cylinder with a new one. I started bleeding the brakes and the new one blows out and starts shootin fluid all over. Any ideas? Im thinking that the brake pads arent aligned right?

id say take it back to the shop that did it. He may have adjusted them too far out (depending on the thickness of your rear pads) to where the wheel cylinders are busting.
