Cannot bleed right rear brake Options

[tornik550]

I have tried bleedling my brakes with three different types of bleeders and I have the same issue each time. I can get all the calipers to bleed properly except the passenger rear brake. Using the hand pump type of bleeder, I have pumped the right rear brake for a very long time and I still get bubbles. It never seems to change. I wasn't sure if I had speed bleeders or not so I removed the bleeder and found it was slightly bent (probably from over tightening). I put a new bleeder in and restarted the process- no change. Any ideas? I have not seen any fluid leaks. I have not tried to drive the car yet due to some engine issues. They were rebuilt fairly recently (by me)- is it possibel that I screwed something up? Seems to me that I would see a leak somewhere if I screwed up the rebuild.

Not a fan of vacuum bleeders over pressure bleeders. Those 7x1 bleeder holes on the caliper won't seal until the valve seat is fully seated on many of these old calipers. Meaning, once it's loose, all sorts of air can leak past the threads causing the vacuum bleeder to look like its constantly pulling air out of the system.

Pressure bleeding is much more betterer...
