I recently overhauled both rear calipers and now i've put them back on they require bleeding. With the help of a friend who did the pedal pushing I first bled the rear left (passenger, uk) caliper which went fine. However the rear right one just will not bleed. Nothing comes out as far as I can tell, not even air. I have taken the bleed nipple off and it is not obstructed, i can blow air through it. What the hell is causing this? I'd really appreciate some help as the weather is grim and my only other means of transportation is a motorbike.

I'm not convinced you have no air coming out. When I run new brake lines it takes a while to get any fluid at all out of the bleeder.
Air in the MC should eventually bleed out. My sisters old car, I changed the brake lines, when I went to bleed them the master died. I dont know if it was just the system depressurized or what, but that could be the problem. Think about it, the MC pushes, with the bleeder open air or fluid will come out. If the MC isn't pushing nothing is going to come out. The brake system really isnt complicated. It's certainly not a kink in the lines or anything like that, if it was you'd build up pedal pressure. It's either a bad MC or air. This post has been edited by czwalga: Dec 21, 2012 - 8:19 AM -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
