Having trouble bleeding rear brakes
So I'm new here to the forum and I am having some problems bleeding my rear brakes. Its a 69 Camaro and it had factory disc/drum brakes. I decided to upgrade them and swap the drums for brakes. I upgraded the brakes to factory 2010+ Camaro Brembos.
What is equipped: - Wilwood 1.125" master cylinder
- dual diaphragm booster
- SSBC manual proportioning valve
- 14" 6/4 pot brembo calipers
- Factory steel lines
- Rubber rear hoses
- Stainless Steel front lines
I've been trying to bleed the rear brakes for the last few weeks but I can't get any pressure for them to lock up. So far I've tried: - Bench bleeding the master cylinder twice
- Lashed the master cylinder and pushrod
- Gravity bled the system
- Bled the brakes starting at RR, LR, RF, LF
- Vacuum bleed all the calipers
- Bled each rear caliper starting with the inside bleeder, then outside
- Tied both rear calipers together and vacuum bled them
- re-bled them with the proportioning valve wide open
- replaced a questionable steel lines
I've moved over a quart of fluid through the rear calipers and I am still battling a pressure issue. I don't think its an air lock.
I think the factory steel drum brake line is not allowing it to build pressure or something else?
I need some help/guidance to what could be the problem.
