First, do you have a constant abs and brake light on accompanied by a hard pedal? If you do your accumulator is shot.  Also, to bleed the brakes (rears) properly you must have a fully charged accumulator.

Stolen from SCCOA

Bleed the rears first.....

Top off the fluid in the reservoir....

Turn on ignition switch and let the brake system build up pressure....

Have your assistant apply the brakes while you bleed the RR, then the LR calipers.....

Turn off ignition.....

Top of the fluid in the reservoir.....

Bleed the RF, then the LF the conventional way....

If you end up needing the TEVES system, I'm converting mine to a regular booster and will be selling the TEVES, harness, and TEVES computer

Dougy, if you end up parting that system out let me know. Between my 90 SC and my wife's 88 TC a spare accumulator is a beautiful thing.
