You have an issue with vacuum bleeding yet you're advocating breaking the flare nuts loose?

WTF... :nono:

enough dude

Done it myself, and it's worked. Unless I say it's an opinion, or an idea, it's something I've actually done, and had it work. I wouldn't say it if it didn't work for me, and other mechanics I've worked with. I've bled brakes from flare nuts, and banjo bolts, and never had a problem.

I did this shit for a living as a kid so actually have a clue.

I'm fast getting to the "don't give a fuck" point and just won't bother correcting anymore of the misinformation and bullshit here and it can turn into a fucking joke like Supra Forums.

Don't let the 'King of Misinformation' get to you.
Pretty sone he will kill his supra, part it out, and be gone.........

ok guyes please stay with my problem :S

even if there could be any leaks and air going back in the system even if im @ 20vac with my bleeder, actually i cant even get a drop of oil out of the bleeder!

like if something was blocking the lines,

ive been up to the source and noticed the oil in mc reservois wont even enter the mc....

you cant get a drop out of ANY of your lines??

do you feel pressure when you pump the brakes? you leave your car running right?

i must let the car run to do it?

i tried both rear lines, nothing come out, as i said with a hose from bleeder to a jar of oil, when i press the pedal i dont see any bubbles in the jar. there was only bubbles the 1st time i did it when i bench bleeded the mc, since there was oil in it, i pumped brakes and when i crack loosed the hose some oil squirted out, then if i do it again theres no more.

i havnt tried the bubble stuff from rear right since bleeder is broke,but as the rr one, there was only a squirt the 1st pump after, nothing.

exactly if the master wasnt getting oil from the resevoir. it push its oil out then dont get any more.

You are supposed to bleed in the correct order. Right rear, left rear, right front, left front. Also, if the lines are empty, it will take some time for fluid to reach the rear. That's quite a distance for the fluid to travel.

ya i know the order, sorry didnt said it, both rears were not working so i tryed the front ones, and they worked, thats why i started with front.

i bleeded over 15mins the rear ones, theres no air, nothing coming out of both, and the lines arent empty.

I come from a land down under
Unscrew the rear lines at the ABS open both rear bleeders and use a piece of hose and blow the lines out with a compressor, then if nothing comes out carefully inspect the rear line to see if it's been squashed flat (first place to look is down by the rear subframe mount)
