    Brake bleeding

    I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem before and what they wound up doing to fix it. After I did my pads and SS lines I went to bleed my brakes and ran into no fluid coming out of the right rear caliper. I followed on to the other calipers and they bled fine but went again to repeat the process and the right rear would stay solid and not release pressure or fluid. I removed the caliper and checked it and all checked good.

    Any advice would be great. thanks in advance.

    Trying to understand the problem here. Did you pull the caliper and see if fluid came out freely from the line? If so you wouldn't have any blockage before the caliper. You could very well have a mucked up bleeder screw. If remove the bleeder screw you should have fluid coming from it.

    I would also use a pressure bleeder (like a Motive or whatever) and you can push 15-20psi through it and see if you can open it up. Should be easy to diagnose the location of the problem.
