      BLEEDING BRAKES - help

      OK , i know this is a simple process but i cant find the problem so any thoughts would be appreciated

      Im working on a 1967 Camaro - POWER DRUM BRAKE SYSTEM. ( all 4 corners )

      I have EVERYTHING new except the distribution block and the booster. everything else is new.

      for some reason , I cant get the back brakes to bleed up. after a hour of back n fourth , i get bubbles/air and a little fluid but still wont bleed up ...
      the resivoir goes down a little but not what you would think to fill the rear lines ,
      I get NO movement out of the rear wheel cylinders...



      i looked at the booser and inside the car at the booser area and THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE...

      SO WHY WONT THIS THING BLEED UP ???

      its basic brakes so i must be having a bad brain day cause IM STUCK.

      thanks in advance , Back to the dam pole barn.

      my guess is you need to bench bleed the master cyl again.

      I've always had good luck with injecting fluid from the bleeders and pushing it towards the master cylinder. I'm too cheap to buy a good bleeder so, I just use a large syringe.

      I made a pressure bleeder from a bug sprayer like the motive ones

      I think its the master cyl... thanks for the ideas..
      the front would bleed up but not the rear.
      my guess is that the pedal got pushed to hard and possibly inverted the seal so i just ordered a new master... Go figure , you cant just get parts off the shelf for these older cars anymore ...
      i went to advanced and auto zone ...NEITHER ONE HAD R45 plugs ...or a master cyl or wheel cyl...- takes a day.LOL

      THANKS AGAIN.
