bg bleeding brakes

froggyspawn · 05-02-2009, 10:58 PM

hi,
just changed the master cylinder,tried to bleed the rear passenger and the front drivers side but couldnt get any brake fluid to come out,the others were fine squirting out brake fluid and now pedal goes to the floor,i made sure the resevoir was topped up all the time.
what could be wrong

u loosen the nipple enough? if non comming out did u try un hooking the brake line b4 the nipple to see if fluid is making it to the line/nipple?

just unhooked the front right caliper line from the master cylinder no fluid is coming out not even when you pump the pedal
