Brake bleeding 101

[HeavyMetal]

This seems retarded, I have bled brakes a million other times, so there must be some underlying issue i dont have experience with going on here.

pedal on my new jeep sucks...you can pump the pedal and keep some pressure, but if you stay on it, itll slowly sink to nothing. Fronts bleed out fine, no air in the lines, so on. The rears however, if someones on the brake and you crack open the bleeder, even past a full turn, nothing comes out of either of them in the rear, and the pedal doesnt sink.

The reservoir isnt losing fluid when pumping the brakes normally no matter how much, leading me to believe theres not a leak somewhere (not to mention i dont see fluid anywhere)

Anyone have any input?

D35 drum rear

Could be a pinhole in the line. The burban had that issue and it took a week to notice any fluid

[HeavyMetal]

Causing no fluid whatsoever to exit the rear bleeders? and the pedal doesnt sink during bleeding em?

[Hydra]

Sucking air through brake booster/master?

You might have to bench bleed the master

[HeavyMetal]

any way to be sure of this?

this doesnt make sense to me still that literally nothing is coming out of either rear bleeder and the pedal doesnt sink with them

[Burton58]

Sounds like the rear line or something is clogged or pinched not letting fluid though. Idk that makes no sense

Maybe a crushed or blocked brake line?

Maybe a crushed or blocked brake line?

This is what I was thinking, maybe even a cut line that was crimped or blocked, but I can't figure it out and it was night when we realized it.

Ya maybe it had brake issues before. Look over the line, running a new one wont be hard

Will, I have a relatively new rear brakeline in the Cherokee, MOPAR replacement, that goes from the master to rear axle

[HeavyMetal]

I am going to give this whole thing a lookover tomorrow when its light

save that for me dillon, I am hoping it is that simple. the kid who sold me this thing is starting to look more and more bad

[Buffalo Phil]

Go to his house and kick him in the FACE.
