Brake problems

Hi all...new here to the forums. I have a 1995 Nissan Altima. The brakes were low sometimes and great sometimes. The rubber gasket on the cap on my master cylinder was tore all to pieces so I replaced that...the brakes were great until I turned the car off. So I decided to bleed the front brakes which seems to have only made it worse. Now I have very little brake. I checked the booster for airtightness...all is well there. About the only thing I can think of now is to bleed the rear brakes and if they are okay it must be the master cylinder itself. Any ideas? Also, how do you bleed the rear brakes? Please if anyone can help, this is my ONLY transportation to work. Thank you in advance.

Check all your vacuum lines leading to the master cylinder first off if yo haven't.

If water got into the master cylinder (which is likely if the seal was al cracked and broken) you probably have to totally flush the lines, bot front and rear. Bleeding them might have just moved water from the maste cylinder down into the lines, making things worse. If it were my car would try a full brake fluid flush
