    Morning All.....Are there any secrets concerning bleeding the brakes on a c/4??? I've had the rear calipers rebuilt on mine and when I went to bleed the system it seemed like the fluid was not flowing from the master cylinder. I tried both a vacuum pump and the old fashioned pump the pedal method.
    Any ideas????

    You have not mentioned if the hoses were replaced. This was a weak spot on older models and should always be replaced as they close up and severely restrict flow. For bleeding, I use a pressure system, Eastwood sells a reasonable DIY one.

    Your hoses may have deteriorated internally. It is not uncommon for brake hoses to become constricted.

    As above..but if they are ok..let the system gravity bleed until fluid starts dripping from the open bleeder screws. Then bleed the entire system starting from the cailper furthest away from the master cylinder..RR,LR,RF,LF
