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.

Trust an old guy on this one. . there is no substitute on the 2 person method. . it always works. . {Unless your GF is helping and she doesn't quite know what 'hold the pedal' means }. .
I go around 3 times after a firm pedal and no air just to be sure it's all new fluid. .

I tried vacuum bleeding mine and kept getting getting a small amount of airbubbles on one wheel. . . it was sucking past the threads no matter what I tried. .
