 HELP !!! Who could advise? I have installed all new brake lines , rebuilt master cyclinder, new resivour, all new distribution blocks, (from fine lines)- everything on each wheel and I cannot get brake fluid to the rear drumb brakes. I have tons of fluid to the front dicsc. Do any of you have any advice on my issue of no fluid getting to the rear? EVERYTHING is brand new. Thank You Tim Johnson

It would help greatly to know what year and model of car you are working on!! IF your car has the older brake pressure differential switch on the firewall below the blower motor, have you removed the nylon plunger in the switch prior to attempting bleeding??

By nylon do you mean the top center where the stud sticks out for the brake line wire? Thanks Tim

Do you have a TSM? (Service manual). Remove the nylon nut from the top of the brass switch body. Then remove the FRAGILE nylon plunger. Then bleed brakes.

Thanks for the info. So I just disassembled the old one. This is the distribution valve on the firewall where the brake lines screw in. two on the top and two on the bottom. When I took the old one apart, I removed the nylon nut with the post that the wire hooks to, then there was a spring and a nylon valve stem. If I understand you corrrectly, you want me to remove the same parts on the one on the car, then just screw back in the nylon nut without the spring and nylon valve stem . Then that should allow the fluid to get to the rear brakes-correct? If that is correct, wont I allow air back in when I reinstall the nylon valve stem and spring? I dont mean to drag this out, Its just Ive never come across this before. I thank you for your time. Tim

I'll ask again, do you have a TSM?? This is all detailed in there. No need to re install the nylon nut for bleeding. There is no (should not be) any fluid pressure there, ever. Remove both nylon parts and then try bleeding.
