Leaks & Noises
Hi All,
I recently had to change my rear brake shoes and also both wheel cylinders beacause the brake pedal was traveliing to the floor before the car would stop and the rear brakes were sticking on, having completed the removal and refitting of the new shoes and cylinder i tried to bleed the brakes but no matter how many times i depressed the pedal no brake fluid came from the bleed nipple even though it was open and the reservoir was topped up any ideas.

May have a knackered master cyl .Try bleeding master cyl first and then rest of brakes .Could have been master cyl was original fault .
