Hello again.
I'm in the middle of installing new rotors, pads, and stainless steel brake lines. The front two wheels were installed with no issues. Then it was time for the rear right rotor/pads/brake line. After installing the new rotor, pads, and brake line, I attempted to bleed as I normally do. My process is to connect a clear vinyl tube to the bleed valve, put the tube into a container, then press on the brake pedal until new fluid shows.
However, little to no brake fluid moved through the line when I did the right rear. I removed the bleeder valve completely then pressed on the brake pedal. No fluid. Then I loosened the brake line where it meets the steel tube brake line and pressed on the brake pedal. Very little fluid came out, but not the amount that it should such as compared to the front wheels.
After all my attempts to be cautious, did I accidentally knock debris into the steel tube when I uncoupled the rubber brake line?
I need help. I'm hoping there is an easy solution.
