Are you squirting fluid out somewhere, or just letting air in? I think I had cross threaded the line to the top cylinder and that was my problem that was a bitch to find.

I started to take the cylinders off to take them back based on what Metaphysical VW said and the flex hose going into the left cylinder seemed to be loose. So I tightened it and re-bleed the system. I got a little brake so I thought I was on the way to success. Then after bleeding the rear I tested the brake and am back to nothing. After a few expletive deleated (*%&$##*) I am packing up and headed to Dennis' I think that his cliff will do nicely.

Take the bleeder screw all the way out and hold it up to a light to see if there's any obstruction. Also, the hard line could be plugged up.

I replaced rear wheel cylindes and shoes all the way around on Tylers '65 bus. I can't get them to bleed out.
