When you bleed your master cylinder dry, you allow air to enter the brake system, which can lead to a spongy brake pedal and decreased braking performance. Air in the hydraulic lines prevents the proper transfer of force, making it difficult to achieve effective braking. Additionally, running the master cylinder dry can cause damage to the seals and internal components, potentially leading to costly repairs. It’s important to always keep the master cylinder filled with brake fluid during the bleeding process to avoid these issues.

How do you get your back brakes to bleed?
You bleed the rear brakes the same way you bleed the front brakes. If you can't get brake fluid to come out the rear bleeders you may have a faulty master cylinder or the master was allowed to empty out the reservoir that feeds the rear and now it is air bound. Removing the master cylinder and bench bleeding the master may be what you need to do and don't let the reservoir go dry!

Brake bleed sequence for 85 Buick Riviera?
Always start at the wheel that is the farthest away from the master cylinder and work toward it. Typically it would be the passenger side rear, driver side rear, passenger side front and driver side front. Use a bleed kit to make sure all the air bubbles are out before moving to the next cylinder. Also make sure the master cylinder does not go dry during this process so air does not get back into the system.
You cannot get the air out of your brakes lines even after bleeding What is up?
Probably need a master cylinder, or you have a leak somewhere. Check the master by GENTLY pinching off the flow on all the flex hose and pump the brake pedal to see if you get a hard pedal.

Depends on what you are doing. If replacing a part you bleed them until there is no more air coming out.
