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.

All future brake/clutch bleeding problems solved:
http://www.harborfreight.com/brake-fluid-bleeder-92924.html I bought this and it is by far the fastest, easiest, and cleanest way to bleed brakes. It doesn't matter if you have abs either, unless its one of those annoying GM units. Oh yea its a one man operation as well --------------------  |
