Default 1991 Seville STS brake issues

I need to know the PROPER procedure for bleeding the brakes, including the sequence, how to pump the brake pedal - everything
I have replaced all the disks and pads and the back calipers and am planning to replace the master cylinder if I can get the pedal to be firm. It;s really spongy and won't hold the car.
ANY help would be appreciated
Daniel

hey pcfixersts....welcome to the Forum.....as far as your brake issue, after replacing all you have, and you have a spongy pedal still? it seems to me that the master cylinder is the reason for the spongy pedal........ though, brakes are not me, so.....hang in and one of the Forums Techs will advise you soon....... good luck and again welcome

As a gerneral rule bleeding order RR,LR,RF last LF. Does car have ABS? If you have no,none,or nada experience at all I recommend find someone who does or tow it to a shop, even a Votech (low cost option unless your in a hurry, normally no labor charges just materials. Teachers are ASE certified.)
