REAR BRAKE fluid help

[dieselhotrodder]

im having trouble with my rear brakes. i cant ger fluid there.. they worked great till i broke a line. then i replaced the line. i have tried bleeding them all day and i cant get any fluid there.. WTF!!?

[dieselhotrodder]

ok so i called some guys.. they said to push the petal really hard and fast as if a deer was running out in front of you. and then crack both front calipers that way it resets the perportioning valve....???????????? sounds crazy enough to work.

any thoughts

They are correct.

You only need to crack one. It just needs a place to go so the plunger in the valve can move the other way.

i did that and i still canno get a drop of fluid to the rear... after i cracked that though, no air came out and i have an even softer petal.. almost nothing

Sometimes these can be a SOB. Crack the front one, make sure the rear is closed, and stab the pedal quick and hard. If you see the light go off and on you have gone the other way. You may have gone the other way anyways.
