Electric-Vaccum booster swap.

So I recently started having problems with my electric abs system on my 91 cherokee. From reading around the forums most people suggest doing a swap to the vaccum booster system. As my typical luck goes i had to do rear axle seals before redoing my back brakes. i go to pull the axles and the retaining pin in the diff breaks. (harder than shit to find)

So i get the rear brakes including wheel cylinders done, i put in a vaccum booster, master cylinder and a proportioning valve from an 88 in. The M/C and booster were both new(reman) After screwing around with the lines making them go to where they were supposed to go we bled it out, the pedal seemed slightly low and squisshy. As soon as i fired the jeep up the pedal reaaallly went low and squishy, so i tried bleeding some fluid out of the lines from the master, no difference.

One issue i had, my caliper bleeders wouldnt come loose so the best i could do was bleed it through the hoses.... Could that be my issue? or should i have bled it AFTER i ran the engine?

Any other ideas?
