Today, I tried to re-bleed the brakes, but nothing was is coming out during the bleeding process when pumping. Is the booster shot?
I am unsure how to proceed.
thanks.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can bleed the brakes 50 times and it will never be right. The power steering fluid has petroleum byproducts in it. Which will destroy the seals in the master cylinder and maybe the calipers and wheel cylinders. You could be looking at a complete brake job. Good Luck.
