What should i do if there is no rear brakes and no brake fuild is not coming out when i open the bleeder?

Answer 1

You may have rusted bleeder screws.

To check them, and prevent brake fluid from leaking all over, you'll want to pinch off the rubber hose in the wheel well that leads from the end of the hard (metal) brake line to the brake assy.

> Remove the tire(s).

To prevent brake fluid from leaking out.

> Get some 'vise grips' (or similar locking pliers) and a piece of leather or a small piece of heavy cloth to make a couple of layers between the vise grip jaws and the hose. (The leather/cloth is used to minimize damage to the rubber line).

> Use the vise grips (with the leather or cloth between the vise grip jaws and the hose) to pinch the hose (tight, but don't overdo it)

Note: See below before trying to take out the bleeder screw if it's stubborn.

> Remove the bleeder screw and inspect by either blowing compressed air through it (watch out for your eyes) or if you don't have compressed air, get a thin wire (I think a paper clip will do) and ensure the (short) passage from the end of the bleeder screw to the hole in it's side is clear and open. If it's not, take it to an auto parts store and get a replacement)

***Be careful when trying to remove the bleeder screw. It helps if you have a 'flare nut' wrench; this looks like a 'closed end' wrench but with a slot cut in it, so it can slip around a brake line and onto the bleeder screw with almost the full grip of a closed end wrench; if you don't have one, and the bleeder screw is stubborn, try heating it w/a heat gun and cinching (a 2nd pair) of vise grips very tightly onto the B/S (bleeder screw) and giving it a good whack with a hammer to loosen it.
