brakes

[WJACKSON11X]

I just swapped to a 14bff in the rear. went to bleed the brakes, but on one side, when I open the bleeding screw, nothing comes out. I even removed the screw completely to make sure that it wasnt clogged. If I remove the brake line from the drum, I get a steady flow of fluid, so I know its getting that far. Any suggestions? I still have the factory drum brakes at the moment.

First, you don't need to bump your post after 4 hours. You could at least give it a day, most people will glance over the first page at least.

As to your brake problem:

The only thing between the brake line and the bleeder is the wheel cylinder. If fluid flows through the line but won't come out of the bleeder (which is presumably free of obstruction) then something is going on with the wheel cylinder. They're cheap and easy to replace, that's what I would try.

Thanks for the advice, sorry for the lack of patience, this is the last thing i have to get done before I can drive it, been a long time since I've driven it. Can the wheel cylinder be changed without removing the drums?
