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.

you could tell if its a brake booster. usually you can test this by pumping on the brakes multiple times and hold, then turn on the car, and then the pedal should sink. I know theres a few other ways. The other way to tell is hard to brake or a leak on the booster you would hear air.
