when a go to bleed my rear brakes am not getting anything out them.
The fluid seems to be getting to the unit attached to the rear beam but no wer else.
Iv even tried to bleed them with the wheels on the ground.
Do you think this unit must be replaced or un blocked

i thought you had to bleed them with wheels on the ground anyway!?

sounds like the units blocked, try cleaning it out if its possible

have you left the cap off the resevoir ??

get a pressure bleeder from your local tool supplier and use that.
Start from the furthest from the master cylinder and work your way back

is someone pressing the pedal so theres pressure there

My mate got me a one man thing that screws on to the resevoir and connects to the battery.
I usually sit the wheels on blocks but as long as the wee spring is compressed the valve will open
must be blocked thn am gessin

Right I changed the unit on the axle and its still not bleeding.
could it be the master cylinder

I dun away with the unit on the axle as both mine must have been seized.My mate says this lets more fluid through when u load ur car. Al jst get one from the scrapy nxt time am down and connect in
brakes are bleeding fine now.
