I just changed rear end in my 53. Now I can't get the rear brakes to bleed. There is fluid to the tee the lines to the brake cylinders are clear. I'm at wits end I haven't had such a problem in the past. It has drums all the way around. Any ideas? Bob H.
Not sure what could be happening... do you have a dual reservoir master cylinder? Maybe its not pumping from one reservoir?

By chance did the rear MC reservoir go dry during the rear end swap? If so, a master cylinder bench bleed may be in order. Devon
Is it a possibility that the MC went bad? If its an old master and you pushed the pedal past its normal travel, you could of dragged the O rings through some rust causing an internal leak. o No:
I guess that is possible Jason, but the system was installed new about 4 years ago and I'm in a very dry climate. I ran a line from the tee to a can with brake fluid with the end of the line submerged in the fluid. I could raise the level of the fluid by pumping the brakes. I don't know if this means anything or not.

Thanks for the replies I have the problem solved. A little miscommunication. I thought the guy who set up the rear end for me rebuilt the wheel cylinders. I was wrong and they were a mess. I'm glad they didn't bleed out. I had a couple I had rebuilt a while back. Problem solved.

I need to bleed my 1960 Electra and am on Summit racing for speed bleeders. What is the thread size ? The website wont show Buick 1960 and i'm stumped as for sizes !!!
I'm not sure of the thread size maybe someone else will chime in. I know they cover a lot of years with one size. Bob H.
