Just rebuilt my rear calipers with seals from PMB Performance. Using a vacuum brake bleeder I started with the right rear caliper lower bleeder screw ( I have two screws) and initially pulled about an inch of brake fluid with lots of bubbles and then zip. I get zero brake fluid now.
What could cause this? I have no signs of any leaks and the brakes were not bad before I rebuilt the calipers. I read somewhere that I might need to bleed the proportioning valve or even pump into the caliper some brake fluid through the top bleeder ? I ordered a Motive pressure bleeder which arrives in a few days Attached image(s)

Kind of have the same issue.. The entire brake system is new and I still can't get a good pedal.. Hope I didn't damage the new MC.
