I am having trouble getting the rt front and left rear brakes to bleed, the other wheels bleed correctly. I just had the powr brake booster rebuilt and the brake pedal is HARD, not spongy like it should be. It appears the booster is pushing the master cylinder in because the lf front and rt rear wheel bleed correctly. If you could give me some help on this I will gladly donate

Inspect your brake lines for damage. You may have an actuator (push) rod in the booster that is adjusted too long, this will hold the master slightly engaged and will keep it from pulling fluid in properly. When you remove the master mounting nuts does the master get pushed off by the rod? if so it is too long
