I SO need help, I lost rear brakes!! ahhh

ok, my brakes were leaking from the rear right break hose, and when i went to change the hose today, it wasnt leaking. I took off the drum and forgot to put it on when i pumped up the breaks so i freaked out thinking i popped out the pistons BUT they didnt even move, so i bled the brakes and fluid is getting to them but they aren't moving....whats going on????

thanks for ANY help,
Jeff

I forgot to mension my pedal goes all the way to the floor and very little happens, my shoes are in need of replacing, and i've filled up the master cylinder twice in two days. The hand brake still works (if that matters to the problem)

thanks,
Jeff

u need to first find the leak. once thats done, fill the reservoir. then, bleed the brakes, COMPLETELY, seeing as you probably have a huge bubble the whole length of the line. then, fill again, bleed again, and fill again.

If you're losing brake fluid then you've got a leak. Your first goal is to find the leak. That's it and it should be plainly obvious. Follow the lines from the MC to the ABS unit to each wheel. Wherever it's leaking, fix it.
