    I replaced my master cylinder and had issues bleeding. I doubt the previous owner(s) ever flushed the fluid. I took rear calipers off, disassembled them and the fluid was the consistency of Hersey syrup. The orifice that the bleed screw opens was totally clogged. I needed a small piece of wire to unclog it. Open the brake line to the caliper and see if fluid comes out.

    open the lines up as soon as there is a connection after the master cylinder to see if theres anything that comes out, just trace it like you would an electrical bug

    Are you using the pedal method, or a pressure bleeder? Either can work, though the pressure bleeder is going to be easier.

    If the fluid drained out of the lines when you were changing parts, there may just be a lot of air in the lines and it will take a lot of pedal pumps to push it out.

    What is happening? Pedal not moving?

    brakes wont bleed??

    I replace my brake lines today along with 2 remanufactured front calipers. Then went through the process of bleeding my brakes. I couldnt get anything to bleed from the rears or the passenger front side. It bleed fine from the drivers front though. Not sure where start in diagnosing this?
